I always tuned my own, and once a year took them to a local shop to get the bases ground. With both my skis and my wifes skis, that has been pretty time consuming and messy. Being that once again I got the All for One Pass and will be in Killinton just about every weekend, I got a season tune at Basin Ski Shop in Killington. 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.

The best in New England.

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.

Ski Rack(Bangor, ME.): Nice base prep & tune
Happy Tunes: Nice base prep

Have progressed enough to do my own tuning, repair, & beveling...don't have the connections for short notice work... :wink:, plus it's reassuring and satisfying to do one's own....once you get a stone base grind...
