The tuning shop at Shep’s has always delivered outstanding quality and service when it comes to prepping your gear for the best possible performance on the hill. This year, we’re making it even better. LOADS better!
Every winter, we strive to bring you the best performing, hottest new skis, boards, and gear on the planet, and people are hitting the slopes now more than ever. Our tuning wizard, Pete Kohlmoos, works his magic tuning, waxing, edging and repairing. To meet our own increasing demands while staying true to our promise of providing our customers with the best possible service and quality, we’ve purchased four new pieces of tuning equipment from Wintersteiger.
Known for their legendary quality and results, Wintersteiger produces industry leading tuning equipment that can be found worldwide tuning skis for the highest caliber of skiers. Shep’s expects nothing less for our customers. We want our racers on the best gear available, tuned to the highest standards. We want the fastest possible turnaround time to get skiers of all levels back on the slopes, and we strive to deliver cutting edge services that simply can’t be found anywhere else in our area. To do this, here’s what we updated:
Micro 71 Stone Grinder: An update to our existing machine, the Micro 71 is capable of tuning skis and snowboards of all widths with exceptional results. Need the bases on those powder skis fixed up? No problem! Board a bit rough after hours in the park? We’ll get it looking great!
Trim 71 Ceramic Disc Edger: With a specific machine for sharpening base and side edges of skis and boards, Shep’s is now able to bring you laser accurate performance.
Waxjet 93: Designed to deliver hot wax to skis and snowboards in a faster and more efficient manner, the Waxjet 93 provides a deeper penetrating wax to your equipment while using less materials. This translates to a better performing product while leaving a smaller footprint on the environment. It will also significantly speed up our tuning time, getting your equipment done and back to you in record time!
Drivetronic: By far, this is the machine we are the most thrilled to introduce to our customers! The Drivetronic is an alpine ski binding tester designed to do one thing: ensure each and every binding that leaves our shop is performing properly and in the safest manner possible. We want you to be safe and have equipment that is performing at its best. The Drivetronic, combined with our highly-trained ski technician, will allow us to do just that.
