You know what it costs for a stone grind and some edge work these days? Of course you do -- it's like $40! That's crazy! Because you're paying for the tuner's "skill", his time, and the overhead on that giant freakin Wintersteiger machine that costs more than a one-floor condo on a landfill near Vail (from personal experience). Since most serious skiers can tune skis (repair, edges, wax), we don't need to pay for that stuff. But we still need to get the grind once or twice a year at a minimum.
I'm working to change things. I've started www.skituning.org, and though it isn't launched yet, I'm looking for contributors to help me out. If you know about tuning and aren't a raging psychopath, send me an email. Being a raging psychopath wouldn't necessarily disqualify one from contributing, it's worth mentioning.
Happy turns until we meet again,
