Play It Again Sports, a national franchise, hosts a sports-savvy staff that keeps winter-sports enthusiasts gliding with ski and snowboard waxing and tune-up services. A waxing nets favored planks a thorough cleaning and hand application of universal-temperature wax or, upon request, cold-temperature wax. One of the shop’s snow-slicing specialists then carefully smoothes the gear’s edges and removes the rough burrs and nascent beards that cause boards to behave unpredictably on the slopes. During a full tune-up, a qualified technician cleans the board, then employs P-Tex candles to repair any surface gouges or holes. Edges are then sharpened, and a final nose and tail de-tuning followed by a hand wax keeps boards from catching too much edge during turns or copping an attitude.
