Good ski repair shop in Flaine and in Chamonix

, " writes I am not sure P-Tex will help in my case: http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/8775/k22fi3.jpg http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/2742/k21ad6.jpg I had a very similar gouge in Flaine on a brand new pair of skis. I took them to a small shop just along from the bottom of the acensuers right on the edge of the nursery slopes. They used a die to cut out a very precise amount of base material so they could glue in a new piece of exactly the same size (but different colour) base material. The repair looked the dogs and lasted for the life of the skis. Every time I had them serviced comments were made about how good the repair was. -- Devs "Punchdown Pete the old Kroner" Un autre 4 ans! |

That'll be Flaine Super Ski then http://www.flainesuperski.com/ as recommended by me up there ^^^. Glad their reputation continues. They used a die to cut out a very precise amount of base material so they could glue in a new piece of exactly the same size (but different colour) base material. The repair looked the dogs and lasted for the life of the skis. Every time I had them serviced comments were made about how good the repair was. Well, to be fair, I'd be even more impressed if future service droids couldn't even notice that a repair had been made, but maybe it was just a colour-matching thing. In any case, it's clear from this, and other comments, that glueing a new bit of base material seems to be the way to go, contrary to my earlier comments, so I'll go with the flow. |
