How often should skis be sharpened?

It depends on how often you ski and how hard the snow is. For safe and fun skiing you need a ski that is always easy to turn, glides well and has good edge grip. For daily use, it is recommended to groom your skis at least once a week. With the latest grinding robots, you can grind a ski at least 50 times before it is completely worn out.

If you bring your skis or board in the evening, we will deliver your equipment perfectly prepared the next day. We also offer the “Hotel Ski Service”. How does it work? You call us in the evening until 6pm, we pick up your skis at the hotel and bring them back prepared the next morning until 8am.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about repair and maintenance of skis/snowboards

A professional ski service not only improves ski performance but also increases safety and extends the lifespan of your equipment. Well-prepared skis ensure better control, grip, and more fun on the slopes.

It depends on your usage:

  • Casual skiers: every 5–7 ski days
  • Sporty skiers: every 3–4 ski days
  • Pros & frequent skiers: almost after every ski day

A service before the start of the season is always recommended.

  • Belt grinder: Leaves the ski base rough and “hairy.” This makes the ski slower, harder to control, and more likely to catch an edge.
  • Stone grinder: Provides a precise, programmed structure. The result is a smoother, faster ski that is easier to handle, offers better control, and is therefore safer.

At INTERSPORT Val Gardena, we use the latest Montana stone grinding technology to deliver perfectly tuned skis with top-level performance.

Ski tuning refers to the precise grinding and sharpening of ski edges, done with tenth-of-a-degree accuracy. This ensures maximum edge grip, easy turning, and smooth skiing.

  • Better performance: more speed and control
  • Increased safety: reliable grip, reduced risk of falls
  • Longer lifespan: protection against wear and damage

  • Ski base repair
  • Edge replacement and repair
  • Binding plate repair or replacement
  • Edge sharpening and waxing
  • Complete ski tuning with Montana technology

Prices vary depending on the service. At INTERSPORT Val Gardena you always get a free quote before the work begins.

  • Before the season: to start in top condition
  • During the season: regularly after several ski days
  • After the season: to protect skis from rust and damage

Basic care like cleaning, brushing, and waxing can be done at home. For precise edge sharpening and major repairs, a professional ski service is recommended.

Wax provides optimal glide and protection. The choice of wax depends on snow temperature and skiing style. Hot wax offers long-term protection, while liquid or quick wax is good for short-term improvement.

Usually, you can drop off your skis or snowboard in the evening after skiing at our rental shops in St. Christina or Selva. They will be ready to use the very next day.

If you are in a hurry, we also offer an express ski service at our workshop in the Ciampinoi rental shop in Selva, where your skis or snowboard will be ready even faster.

Yes, our workshop is also specialized in snowboard service – including base repair, edge sharpening, and waxing.
