re: #388 teleskiguy
At the luxury goods purveying ski shop I work at we’ll charge $75 to $100 to the Hyatt guest who wants the same work done.
My policy is this. If we’re friends: Edge/Wax=$10 or sixer of choice IPA, Base Welds/Serious edging/machining of skis=12 pk of IPA or $20. Blown-out sidewalls, busted/missing edges/severely gouged topsheets=GET NEW SKIS, DUDE!
And wear a helmet. One of my patrol buddies was putting on a helmet on Sunday and I said, “You never wear a helmet”…he told me about the wreck he was on last weekend. Holding a guy’s skull together for 15 minutes did the trick.
