The funny thing is that I started tuning our own equipment because of the kids. It's just too much $$ to be getting all 4 sets (and multiple in my case because I have GAS) tuned regularly. It's too much $$ and hassle to be dragging them off to the shop all the time and then waiting to get them back.

Plus, I have had to learn to mount my own bindings because I telemark, and the local shops around here won't touch it, warranty it, or do a decent job. That alone has made me "fear" ski tech a lot less.

A lot of bullshit mystique set up by "pro" ski shops....
