Base resoling
The first stage in ski maintenance is base resoling. The Twinner Val Claret technicians use P Tex, heating it and spreading it over the bases of skis and snowboards to fill in all the holes.
The Montana Snow Cruiser robot
This autumn come to Twinner Val Claret and try our new robot, the Montana Snow Cruiser, which grinds, sharpens and tunes your boards and skis in just one operation!

Grinding
Grinding is the operation consisting of grinding the surface of your skis and snowboards, in order to remove any surplus resoling material and restore base flatness. Grinding is by the Snow Cruiser de Montana robot.
Edge sharpening
Sharpening by the Snow Cruiser de Montana robot is extremely precise, optimising edging and curve maintenance.
Ski waxing
Waxing is the main stage in maintaining the base of your skis or snowboards. It consists of applying wax to the base to nourish and protect it, as well as optimising its sliding qualities. In recent years, waxing has become a key factor in the preparation of professional competition equipment (skis, snowboards and cross-country skis).
The main waxing stages are as follows: cleaning the base (removal of old wax), application of the wax, scraping, polishing and finishing.
Checks on ski bindings
We carry out regular checks on bindings before and after hire of your equipment. We also offer to check your own bindings.
Tuning your skis and snowboards
We pay great attention to tuning your skis and snowboards, to adapt your equipment as closely as possible to your own skiing style.
