Basic question from someone who's never waxed or tuned her own skis: How do I know what type of tune to ask for? For all intents and purposes, I have one or two skis that I use primarily on the Ice Coast and one or two that I can choose to take west. Would I want a different tune on each given the different conditions I'll encounter? Is there an "all purpose" tune suitable for east and west assuming I had only a quiver of one?
For example, I've skied my Volkl Blaze 86 both east and west w/no issues. This is their 3d season (approximately 40-50/days per season). While I wax them consistently, they haven't had a full tune since I bought them. I'm planning to take them to Revelstoke at the end of the month and don't know (a) whether I should get them tuned, and (b) if I do, should I get them tuned before I leave or take care of it out there?
All these questions that I should already know the answers to . . .
