Great - so next year once they've had time to adjust to the new reality nevermore will we see such complaints. Good to know.
I dont know why but this made me chuckle and then just made me plain tired. This issue with tunes existed before COVID/illness/quarantine. Now its just the "catch all" excuse. Not that it is not a real contributory issue. But when you charge a premium for something, that doesnt mean you can deliver something less than a premium experience. Skis, cars, lodging whatever. I dont see any manufacturers saying "hey our product sucks right now, so we are going to take 10% off".
Of the skis I bought new, I have had # pairs of Nordica's ( OG Enforcers, Enforcer100, E104 and Girish) - all except Girish and OG Enforcers needed a tune. although I think the OG Enforcers got the Start Haus prep before they were shipped.
2 pairs Dynastar (old Legend 94's <- man I miss those and Mpro99's) both fine
I have had 3 pairs of Stocklis - all SR95's - never needed a tune until I hit a rock. Kastle fine right out of the plastic. Even those not made in AUT.
