We perform ski stone grinding and sructure options (patterning) with strong experience, having been involved in ski stone grinding and maintenance in 8 Olympic Games and 15 World Championships, as well as in all MC - races for over 30 years. Besides cross-country skiing, we also cater to biathlon and Nordic combined.

Examples from the Finnish elite include Jasmi Joensuu and Joni Mäki. However, all customers are equally important and welcome.

Our racing structures have been used to ski to over a hundred championship medals and hundreds of MC podium places over the years. To mention a few Olympic winners who have worked with us throughout their careers: Andrus Veerpalu, Justyna Kowalczyk, Kristina Smigun.

Our grinding is also recommended by one of the world's most experienced ski maintenance/testers, Are Mets, who has worked with three different national teams over four decades and has been involved in winning all possible skiing medals. Our cooperation with him has been continuous from the beginning. If you want a responsible and experienced partner for your ski maintenance with over 30 years of experience, feel free to contact us.

This is how you prepare skis before bringing them for grinding:

Scrape off the waxes and brush the ski (or bring it directly after skiing).

Clean off the grip from classic skis

Remove the bindings (screwed-on bindings do not need to be removed). Binding removal can also be done on-site

Put a name on each pair of skis (for example, use painter's tape and write the name with a permanent marker)

In skis with skin bases, you can leave the skins in place

Ask for the schedule and inform us of your arrival

NOTE! When bringing in skis, please specify for which weather conditions the bases should be patterned. There are several patterns available for different humidities and types of snow, including special patterns for both skating and classic styles
