In 2019, when NASTAR was having their Nationals at Squaw, we had a woman come into the shop to get a race tune on her skis because, "I'm pretty high in the rankings but my skis skidded out on the course today so I need a complete race tune. Can I get them back first thing in the morning?"
She brings her skis in and
Conversation:
Me: We can't get them tuned for you by morning because we're backed up in the shop, but I'd suggest you take one of our demos out insetad. I can put you on a Head Supershape which will be better than these XScreams.
Her: But I love these skis so much. They are my favorite race skis.
Me: Let me get my boss and see what he can do.
Boss comes down and explains the same things I did. No edges left to tune, dated equipment and bindings, better off with a demo...
He gave her a discount on a demo to help her out and though I never heard a follow up, I'mm guessing she did a lot better on the demo ski than those.
