Get ski bindings checked before heading to the slopes

If those skis have been leaning again a wall in your garage since last spring, it's time to get the bindings checked.to make sure they'll release if you fall. And, whether you ski or snowboard, you'll have a better time on the harder man-made snow that covers a lot of the slopes early season, if your edges are sharp and the bottoms are smooth.

One of the best ski-tuning and repair shops for skis and boards is right here in Denver. We've been getting our skis pampered at Edgeworks for years. You'll find the shop (which focuses on bicycle service, repair and rental in the summer) at 860 Broadway. Phone: 303-831-7228.
