Nat and I will be doing a final spring run of skis in mid-April at Ultratune's current location before moving the Tazzari grinder to Winthrop.

With the move to Winthrop, the grinding equipment and processes will remain unchanged. Winthrop does offer the advantage of immediate access to snow for ski testing, and we'll have more space, better lighting, better ventilation, a larger hot-box, and some new custom flex-testing equipment.

Nat will remain involved with Ultratune's R&D with ski/grind testing and world cup service. Ultratune will continue to focus on providing the highest level of stone grinding service to our customers. Hopefully you'll hang with us and give us a try at our new location!

The web site will be updated later this spring.

Also, if you have skis to grind over the summer, Ultratune will have a summer special in June/July, once the Tazzari is moved to its new home.

Cheers, -mark & margaret waechter

Tahoe Donner was good this Sat, as Derick already reported. Me and my
wife skied all the way from 6500 to 7700 (Hawk's nest?). It was slush
in the valley, but around freezing at the top.

I dropped 4 pairs of skis at the "Tahoe grind" place. What the heck
($50 per pair, hot box included). No, mentioning Mark's name did not
get me a free grind.

Planning to do that uphill race at Squaw on Apr 8th - if my skis are
ground by then.
