    Sprite, et al. Need a good tech/shop in or near Greenwich

    so i have 2 pairs of skis stored in CT @ the gf's dad's house.
    my apartment and his basement are not good places to tune skis.
    seeing as I may be skiing soon, I need to get them in good shape. my skinny racers need a good tune so I can learn to use, I think you call them edges.
    my stocklis may never have been tuned except by me.
    anyone in the area you would recomend or should I just bring them in the city and have Dexter do them.

    Well growing up, i used to go to the Outdoor Sports Center off Danbury road in Wilton - i only got a few tunes there and they were pretty decent, just standard machine tunes but their store is great in terms of selection and help - the manager there Scott is a good guy.

    Just don't go to Hickory and Tweed in Armonk, NY - aka Trickery and Greed......

    If you are up for a little drive (15-20 minutes) Hickory and Tweed (known affectionately as Trickory and Greed) always did a good job for me... Though I havent used them in four or five years... They are in Armonk

    really? what kind of equipment do you have? Where are you located? I would LOVE an excuse to not take my shit to these assembly line mega stores around here.

    I work in NYC but live an hour or so north. I sold my machines so it's all handwork now (again) but since that's the way I've been doing it for 25 years I'm pretty confident in my finished product

    Dude, didn't you read my post up there..........that place sucks - they overcharge and will do anything to make a sale - a while back they sold my 5'5" sister some 185s.........if however you need a new Bogner suit, this is your place
