In the last few years Rhythm has made a lot of effort to minimise our footprint on the planet, from the Future waxing method that eliminates around 90% of the scraped wax that was going to landfill, to the filtration systems on our tuning machines that collect plastic micro particles that used to go in our water.

Quick wax? Back on the road in five minutes. Full tune, base grind, restructure, edge and wax? Twenty-five minutes. Major repairs, binding mounts, race preparation, or just excellent advice from year-round professionals who love their sport? Priceless.

To perform on the snow, all gear needs regular maintenance. This will also help your skis or snowboard to last longer and keep you safe on the mountain. How much time you spend on the mountain will determine how regularly you need to visit the workshop.

Our ski and snowboard workshop offers three main maintenance services:

Waxing - applying a coat to the base of your skis to keep them sliding well and protecting them from damage

Edging - sharpening the sides of your board or skis to give you plenty of grip while carving

Base grinding - basically flattening out the bottom of your skis or snowboard for a smoother ride. Say goodbye to the nasty rock gashes!

We also offer tuning packages that combine waxing, edging and grinding to give you the best ride. 

Is your wax environmentally friendly? 

In the last few years, Rhythm has made a lot of effort to minimise our footprint on the planet, from the Future waxing method that eliminates around 90% of the scraped wax that was going to landfill, to the filtration systems on our tuning machines that collect plastic micro-particles that used to go in our water. We also sell and can apply the new single lifetime application Phantom treatment from DPS. 

How often should I get my skis waxed?

This depends on how often you use your skis (or snowboard) however if you’re doing long, full days on the mountain you probably want to get them waxed roughly every 5 days. 

Remember, if you purchased your skis or board from Rhythm Snowsports they’re eligible to be waxed for free for life!

How long does waxing or tuning take?

Just a wax? We’ll have them ready in five minutes.

Full tune, base grind, restructure, edge and wax? Twenty-five minutes. 

Major repairs, binding mounts, race preparation, or just excellent advice from year-round professionals who love their sport? A little longer, but it’s hard to put a price on that!

We recommend you drop your gear straight to the workshop when you arrive as many people can be looking for ski and snowboard tunes or waxes at the same time.

If you ski or snowboard on your gear regularly you're going to need to tune them more regularly. Its important to inspect them after each trip and look for edge damage, burrs or deep scratches in the base.
We reccommend giving your equipment a full tune one a year to provide the base structure and free from defeacts.

The ski tuning team are on hand 7 days a week in winter to service your skis and snowboards on the spot.
The time to tune your snowboard or skis depends on the level of work required but a basic wax and edge should be only 20 minutes. Because our services are on demand we do sometimes have a small wait times to accommodate the rush however we will prioritise walk in services to make sure everyone can get out enjoying turns as fast as possible.
