How to tune your skis for summer storage

Brian w/ those artsy edge shots. Nice work. Still waiting on that "How to Make the Best BC Sammies + Snacks" ft. Jenna + Amory.

The snack time episode will release this fall/winter for the first tour of the season 👍👍

Loving the channel guys! Decided to purchase myself some Ranger 102s for next season but can’t decide on mount point. May I ask where you have mounted yours?

[@TheLostBoys1]

Thanks so much Gavin! A solid choice for sure! Off the top of my head, I can't remember where they're mounted and I can't go look at my skis because they're at another house since we were both recently evacuated from our homes due to a wildfire and haven't brought our skis back up. I believe 2cm back from suggested. I'll have to get back to you once I get my skis back up here.

Gavin Kyle here. I run my 102’s 2cms forward to recommended. I think Brian is at 4 cms forward. Just depends how you want to use them. I like the longer nose for more stability at high speeds.

@@TheLostBoys1 Thanks guys! I hope your evacuation was only precautionary and your homes are ok. I can’t wait to get these mounted and get back out on the hill. Unfortunately living in the U.K. last season didn’t happen due to travel restrictions. 🤞for this year. Keep up the great content as it’s keeping a lot of us going. Any chance I could share a couple of your videos on our U.K. Facebook ski group page?

@@gavinhart3489 Hey Gavin! Apologies for the delay and thank you for the well wishes. Luckily our homes and town were safe, but unfortunately our home mountain, Sierra-at-Tahoe took a heavy hit from the fire. It's definitely going to make for an interesting season. Hopefully you can get out and enjoy them! It is looking a bit better for travel througout Europe so hopefully you can get a good trip or two in. As far the mounting point goes, I (Brian) finally got a chance to look and Kyle did as well. Mine are 4 cm forward of recommended and Kyle's are 2 cm forward. I was thinking of another pair of skis of mine that are mounted back. Hopefully that helps for you. Feel free to share the videos! We truly appreciate the support! Cheers!

What angle *do* you use on your 102s? 88, or perhaps 89? I went to my local shop to get one of these file guides and the clerk told me "this is what you need" and gave me an 87 degree guide. It's definitely not what I need. Kid was a former racer, obviously..

[@TheLostBoys1]

I use an 88 degree on my 94’s, 102’s, and 115’s. It’s a little less aggressive than the 87degree and the tune lasts a little longer. But on any of my narrower carving skis I use 87. But it depends on if you’re used to that and want a tune that aggressive. It’s not easy if you aren’t accustom to it. That is what I used ski racing and skiing Halfpipe so that is familiar for me.
