Technical Tuning... Make sure your gear performs the best for you!

What is "Stone Ground Tuning"?
Stone Ground tuning is the best way to care for the bases of your skis. At the heart of any stone grinder is a large round "stone" which spins very rapidly. An extremely fine pattern is cut into the surface of the stone with a high quality diamond cutting tool. Skis or snowboards are then passed over the stone, transferring the pattern into the base material.

While a grinding belt simply flattens the bottoms of your skis, a stone grinder cuts a fine pattern, or structure, into the base material. This pattern makes your bases more resistant to damage since they will be able to absorb small impacts without scratching. The pattern also channels the water created by friction out to the edges of your skis, resulting in much faster ski. Overall, stone ground tuning results in a much higher quality tune.

Currently, Whiteface uses the Wintersteiger 21 Hundred ILT.

Overnight tuning, waxing, and ski or snowboard binding adjustment located on the ground level of the Base Lodge next to the Rental Shop.
