We are fully equipped to perform extraordinary service on your winter sports equipment. We have extensive experience in Nordic Stone Grinding and Alpine base and edge preparations. Over the past 20 years we have developed a set of integrated automated and hand tuning processes to deliver consistently exceptional base preparations. Our tuning machinery is state of the art, but this equipment is really only a supplement to our old world hand craftsmanship.

Having the best equipment and knowing how to use it are often different things: One of our former employees was fond of the saying "Talk is cheap, but whiskey costs money." With this in mind, we interact with a group of regional test pilots who put our base preparations to use in the real world throughout the season. These folks range from racer types and coaches to instructors and recreational skiers. They keep us on the straight and true and aren't shy about letting us know what works and what doesn't.

Our store is located at 2733 Main Street,

Only two blocks down from the famous Olympic Center which played host to the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games.

High Peaks Cyclery uses a cutting edge Wintersteiger Sigma RS 350 computer controlled stone grinder. In our extensive database are structures developed by The Austrian Ski Team, the major ski manufacturers and Wintersteiger. These structures have been proven over many World Cup seasons to be reliably fast for their intended conditions. We can recreate these exact structures on your personal skis so that you may have the same advantage as World Cup skiers. By specifying the snow type, temperature and humidity we can tune your skis to perform their best. Having several skis prepared for different conditions means you’ll always have a pair that will be optimal for whichever conditions you encounter on race day. In addition, having skis optimized for different conditions cuts down on the amount of specific waxing you have to do.

If you are undecided as to the exact conditions you’d like to target, you can choose a “Universal” structure. Although not as specialized, these should work well in conditions you are likely to see in your everyday skiing. Choose “Universal Warm” for temperatures in the low 20’s and above, with snow that forms a snowball easily. “Universal Cold” is for temperatures in the low twenties and below, with snow that resists packing.
