Sport 2000 stores do more than just rent and sell equipment: their teams are also trained to maintain your skis and snowboards and offer various services depending on your needs.
Want to know more about the available services? Curious about prices for waxing, sharpening, or repairing your winter sports equipment? Find all the useful information here and maximize your performance and the lifespan of your gear by entrusting it to a Sport 2000 ski workshop.
Skis and snowboards are equipment that wear out over time and can lose performance season after season if they are not properly maintained.
Regular maintenance helps optimize glide performance and provide better edge grip on all types of snow. This is essential for fully enjoying the slopes, and also for ensuring your safety. With damaged or poorly maintained skis, you risk losing control and making mistakes that can lead to falls.
Additionally, maintaining your ski equipment ensures a longer lifespan. Skis that are regularly waxed and sharpened retain their performance longer and wear out more slowly. Proper maintenance also helps prevent rust, cracks, or delamination. Finally, it avoids costly repairs and ensures your equipment is always ready for the next season.
Equipped with expert teams, specialized tools, and the latest technologies, Sport 2000 stores offer various services to keep your skis in good condition and repair them if needed.
Each workshop has its own maintenance and repair offerings, but generally provides the following services for snowboards, alpine skis, freeride skis, and freestyle skis: Waxing: applying a layer of wax (also called “fart” or “wax”) to the ski base to improve glide, protect the material, and adapt the skis to snow conditions – this includes cold waxing applied with a cloth and hot waxing with an iron;
Some Sport 2000 stores, specialized in certain types of equipment, may also offer specific maintenance services, for example for touring skis, cross-country skis, or alpine ski competition equipment.
Each Sport 2000 store has its own price list for ski and snowboard maintenance. However, here are typical price ranges, noting that snowboard services are often slightly more expensive than ski services:
| Services | Price (€) |
| Waxing | €8–16 |
| Sharpening | €12–18 |
| Waxing + Sharpening Kit | €15–25 |
| Structuring + Sharpening + Waxing Kit | €25–35 |
| Base Repair + Sharpening + Waxing Kit | €35–50 |
| Re-gluing | €35–45 |
| Binding Mounting or Adjustment | €15–50 |
| Complete Maintenance & Repair Kit | €45–80 |
| Cutting / Trimming Climbing Skins for Touring Skis | €25–35 |
These prices are provided for guidance only and can vary significantly depending on the techniques and products used (type of wax, waxing method, manual or machine operation, etc.), as well as the condition of the ski or snowboard.
In any case, it is generally more cost-effective to choose a complete maintenance kit rather than performing each service individually, but this depends on the condition of your equipment and your specific needs.
In some stores, you can also opt for packages (e.g., a pack of 10 waxings) to save on the unit price or request a quote for a customized professional maintenance service.
To prolong the quality and lifespan of your equipment, also pay attention to proper storage practices.
After each outing, wipe your skis or snowboard carefully to remove any residual moisture that could cause rust. Store your equipment in a dry, temperate, and shaded place, ideally with loosened bindings to preserve their springs.
Avoid storing them upright without support: prefer a flat horizontal position or use an appropriate ski rack. Finally, always transport them in a protective bag to prevent damage from impacts and friction.
