SEASON WRAP-UP

WORKSHOP UPGRADES IN PROGRESS

The workshop is officially closed for the summer! We are busy upgrading our space with new machinery and building a fresh new website to serve you even better next season.

Full Tune

Our top-tier service. We handle P-Tex base repairs for rock damage, sharpen your edges on our Montana HTT-3D edge grinder, and finish with a fresh infrared waxing.

Standard Tune

For when you start to feel your edges sliding on the hard pack. We'll give it a Montana HTT-3D disk sharpen and a fresh infrared waxing, getting you biting on the ice and floating in the powder.

IRON OR INFRARED WAXING

The fix for a sticky base. If you're on a budget or just need to restore your speed, this deep-saturation wax will stop your gear from grabbing and get you moving fast again.

CUSTOM REPAIRS

For the bigger hits. From core shots to top-sheet delaminations. If you’ve had a bad run-in with a rock, bring it in and we’ll see what we can do.

Online bookings are paused until next winter.

THE WORKSHOP ADVANTAGE

WHY TRUST THE LAB?

PRO-GRADE TOOLS

We use Montana HTT-3D Finishish and Swix wax technologies. The same gear used in high-end workshops worldwide, operated right here in our Wānaka garage.

QUALITY GEAR

DIALED FOR WĀNAKA

We don't just tune gear, we ride it. We know exactly how the snow changes from the morning ice at Treble Cone to the slushy afternoons at Cardrona.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

REPEATABLE RESULTS

Because we’re a small shop, you get the same technician every time. We keep track of your preferences so your gear feels exactly how you like it, every single ride.
