Over the course of a season the skier's most important piece of equipment (besides a helmet) is their skis. It is recommended that a race ski be tuned at least every 1-2 weeks. The AVR racers will be spending minimum 4 days a week either training or competing, and a well tuned, sharpened, and waxed ski can make a big difference in the overall performance of a skier and the team.
Coaching & Other Personnel: There are resources right here on the team. They ask that you give them ample lead-time (+72 hours) if you would like them to provide this service and the turn-around time can vary depending on a number of factors (how many requests, free-time, etc.) Please find a list of persons, here, that can provide some ski-tune services who are associated with the AVR Race Team:
Coach Craig Opel - 952-240-9682: Please text or talk to Craig at practice - $25 for tune & wax
Local Ski Shops: There are a number of local ski shops who you can contact for ski tuning services and usually the turn around for a local ski shop would be anywhere from 3 - 7 days depending on how busy they are and the cost is typically from $20 for waxing up to $60 for performance tune.
