At Winthrop Mountain Sports, our stone grinding process refreshes your cross country skis by removing the old, worn-out base material and creating a smooth, flat surface. We then apply a new structure that matches the conditions where you want your skis to perform their best. We have perfected 4 differents grinds that work well in a wide range of conditions and we have focus of development on grinds that deliver consistent performance. These grinds are designed with skiing conditions across the country in mind.
Erik Bjornsen, a 2X Olympian, personally develops, tests and perfects each grind, ensuring top-notch quality and versatility. Thanks to his expertise and time on snows, you can trust that our grinds will keep your skis ready for anything.

After grinding, skis should be wax-saturated and "hardened" for better speed and durability. We offer these post-grind treatments:
Heatbox Saturation (HB – $35): The heatbox quickly saturates the base with wax, conditioning it for future layers. If you prefer not to use the heatbox, you can achieve similar results with 4-6 standard wax applications.
Base Hardening (BH– $20): Hardening enhances the base's surface for speed by carefully heating it with wax, using specific waxes and temperatures based on the ski's intended conditions. This process ensures the skis are prepped for optimal performance.
Or get the Base Prep and all is included for a discounted price(HB+BH- 45$)
