Base Grinding odd shaped skis...

Hi folks.

I have a pair of original mid-90s skiboards (not blades) with a cutaway 'grind' pad under the binding area. I reckon they need grinding.

Does anyone know if these will fit in a base grinding machine? I'm told by someone that used to work as a ski tech that they wouldn't fit through the machine he used, but others have told me there are different ways of doing it?

Anybody know enough to advise?

It sounds like these are not skis that you are looking to get great base and edge performance out of, just want to clean up the base from a lot of grinding on slides. You really only need a few passes on a belt sander (at a store, not at home). This is normally a lot cheaper than a stone grind. I would look for a store that does belt grinds on snowboards.

Cheers fella. Its just really that they have a few ruts in and have been overwaxed, or thats what it looks like.

They go very very slow, is the main problem.
