Any recommendations where to get a good base grind and tune-up in the Western NY area. Jamestown is closest city and Holiday Valley in Ellicotteville is the largest ski hill.

Thanks,

This place looks legit and has very high end tuning machines.

Cody at MSG is a very good contact. Also Trey at the city Garage does great work.

I've had very good luck at Mud Sweat & Gears and City Garage as well. If you live closer to Buffalo Mud Sweat & Gears also has a shop in East Aurora which might be closer for you than Ellicottville.

Second the Mud Sweat and Gears recommendation. Also, they do great boot work.
I've heard that Tim at City Garage is one of the best boot men in the East, but I also heard that he wasn't working there last season. Can't vouch for that, though.
