The price for this is $129, it's good for up to 3 pairs of ski, but you can only drop off one pair per week. For this price you also get discounts on clothes, accessories, and services. You also get to demo one pair of skis for free. This sounded so good, I think I'll buy one more season tune so that I can drop of my skis as well as my wife's ski's every weekend.

I use a shop in the mountian green "center" right near the Sante Fe...its called Black Dog....they really butter them up and hes a good "old style" ski tech....quick, easy, and cheap (since I am friends with the owner)...

I've heard good things about Black Dog before. I'm here in NY and although it's kind of out of my way, Fall Line Ski Shop in Glens Falls does a nice old style tune.

I get all my tuning gear and tech tips from Tognar. They have more equipment than you'll ever need and their tech help line is second to
none...

Go see Mike D. at Summit Ski and Snowboard. After you get your skis/boards back from other shops check your edges with tools to see the angles. Mike has a pretty good system for getting 1 degree base bevel and 3 degree side edge. I have had 4 boards through him and he is amazing.

Have progressed enough to do my own tuning, repair, & beveling...don't have the connections for short notice work...

, plus it's reassuring and satisfying to do one's own....once you get a stone base grind...
