High end infrared hot waxing machine for Top Quality Service and Racing
New this Year! Williams Ski & Patio is proud to introduce the latest race proven waxing technology with the newest highest tech features for far better gliding and wax durability. We use Universal high quality wax or we can use any wax on the market, for your own preferences and requirements. Without any direct ski contact or temperature shock the WAX FUTURE glides at variable speed over the base and allows the wax to penetrate deep into the polyethylene base. You will get a higher wax penetration and absorption which results in long lasting gliding capacity of the ski and snowboard bases especially with hard waxes.
Custom Boot Fitting
Tighter is better! Foot and boot contact is critical; the more space you have between the foot and the boot, the greater the opportunity for the foot to move and pressure points and pain to occur. So we look at each boot for liner quality and shell design in relation to the target skier. We also evaluate each boot for anti-shock quality. A powerful boot is of no use if you can’t get the power to the snow.
Williams’s bootfitters use TekScan, which is a computer pressure pad you stand on in your boots, to find out how your weight is distributed so we can correctly adjust your boots to properly balance you on your skis.
