Ok let's do the tech geek out thing;

Wintersteiger vs R off B vs Montana. Which do you find more friendly to use and why?

And is it just me or does anyone else find that magnetraction + most every side edger = bad mojo?

Wintersteiger, RoffB and Montana are pretty much the three biggest manufacturers of ski tuning machines. They make base grinders, edgers, waxers... anything from standalone units to fully automated modular systems.

Magnetraction's a bitch with machine side-edgers, because of the shape it's really difficult to get remove an even amount of material the whole length of the board... normally end up doing them by hand which is great if it's only a couple, but when you're doing 60+ sets of rentals a day and customer stuff on top, it tends to eat up your time!

Yeah man that's pretty much all you need for day to day maintenance, but thought I'd give the techys something to talk about. Still makes a difference to have you board base ground and run over a stone ever now and then though... keep it flat and true with good texture and it'll treat you right  Wink

Magnatraction - Great for snowboards, still iffy on skis, Bitch to tune
