The first item you need to get up and running with your own tuning kit is an iron for waxing. Swix offers some of the most reliable irons out there, heat up with the Swix Waxing Iron.
Once you wax on, you need to wax off. With the 3mm Plexi Scraper you’ll be able to scrape the excess wax from your skis with the greatest of ease.
Ever had that annoying shark fin on the bottom of you skis? Ya, we all have. With the DaKine metal scraper you can shear off the strands left from a core shot and prep for P-Tex.
When your edges are over sharpened or your skis are hooking up strange, go ahead and detune the tips and tails back around 3-5 cm from snow contact with the Swix Gummy Stone.
Debur your edges after some heavy abuse with the DaKine Pocket Stone…it even fits in your pocket! 😉
6. Swix Alpine Tuning Kit (Small)
This little kit comes with a pocket size edge file to set both base and side bevel, a bar of universal rub on wax, and a Fibertex cork pad for polishing your bases after a wax.
7. Swix Rectangular Medium Bronze Brush
After you wax your skis you need to be sure and get all the excess wax off you base and seal the wax in, which is exactly what the Swix Bronze Brush was designed to do.
If your tuning your own skis, you’re going to need some wax. Swix CH10 Yellow Ski Wax is optimal for most days in Tahoe.

On days when you really want to beat your friends to the bottom, lay on a coat of high quality LF wax and watch your skis glide faster than ever.
