How frequently do you need to tune? I usually only tune at the beginning of each season. Does tuning also prolong the longevity of the board? This article doesn’t seem to address that.


Filing edges and base grinding cuts material away so it shortens the life. Not a huge concern though. Racers typically wax and tune edges every 10-20 runs.

Recreationally, if you are on a narrow groomer type ski on icy runs, every few days is great and will help you enjoy and improve faster. Well fitted ski boots are more critical though.


I do edges every day (usually just a few passes with a fine stone and a light deburring with gummy stone), base wax as required by the conditions.


Yes, this kind of maintenance is quick to do and a best practice once you've setup the angles. Then you hit a rock and cry.
