Downhill and Nordic Ski Tuning & Services
We service all types of skis, including nordic, as well as snowboards. Please use this page as a guideline for our services and pricing. All pricing is subject to change.
Start Haus preps your skis with the same care and attention to detail you would receive from a serviceman on the World Cup level. Our stone grinds are performed with the finest race-specific stone grinder from Wintersteiger, the Sigma RS350. The RS stands for Racing Service. The variables and control of this machine provide the fastest and most repeatable grinds around.

Bike Service Update Oct 11, 2023: Winter is right around the corner and our team has been busy with ski and bootfitting service requests. Due to service demand we will be temporarily stopping our bike service to have our techs focus on skiing.
We feel fortunate to live in an amazing place where we can bike year-round and we appreciate your understanding in us changing our offerings with Tahoe's changing seasons. We will continue to service any bikes that were purchased directly from our shop and we still have full bike builds and gear available for purchase online and in the store.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.
