Cheam Source for Sports is your community shop for all your ski and snowboard needs.
You shouldn’t put wax on a dirty base. Grinding removes old dirt and grime, giving your board or ski a smooth bottom – er, base.
Sharp edges give you stability when you’re turning.
Fresh wax gives a water-resistant surface that only adds to your speed and smoothness down the slopes.
Sharpen your edges, grind your base, and get some fresh wax.
Same as the Minor Tune Package, plus some P-tex treatment to fill in any gouges in your ski or board.
Powder is here, conditions are premium, but your board or ski needs a tune-up. We can get it done the day you drop everything off, it just costs a bit more.
Whether you’re carving up Whistler or cruising Sasquatch, your gear should never slow you down.
Our ski and snowboard tuning techs bring decades of experience to every edge sharpen and wax job. From early-season prep to mid-season repairs, we’ve seen it all, and we treat every board and pair of skis like they’re headed for a podium.
Years combined tuning experience
Skis and boards tuned and counting
When the wax on your board or ski isn’t right for the conditions you’re riding in, or it’s old and worn out, you’re going to stutter down the hill and feel incredibly uncomfortable – as if the snow’s grabbing at you.
A fresh wax fixes this discomfort, as does some sharp edges.
A freshly tuned ski (or board) glides through the snow like a heated knife cutting through butter. Which means you can go faster.
Need to change direction? Want to do some wicked tricks?
The edges of your ski or board will be sharper after a good tune-up, which means they bite right into the slope, which equals super awesome carving.
