Hi - yes, they work every day but you need to book in advance as we have had lots of friends trying to sort servicing with them this season, but they haven't been able to fit them in.. !

re: Ski Servicing - Borovets

if you get your skis serviced before you are coming back make sure they are covered with a 'travel' wax. Usually the wax is all scrapped off to ski on, but the condensation you pick up in the hold will start to rust your nice new shiny edges!!
I always service ours as soon as we get back so that they are ready for the next outing.
If you ever fancy learning how to do it i know a very good man based in leicester area who gives lessons, well worth the cost if youre interested in learning ...

I'm in Leicester and do all my own servicing. Although I do need to send the boards off if base grinds are needed. What equipment does your bloke us for base grinds?

Cheers Fraser - According to his site he's in Nottingham. On the east side too so a little trek from the M1. About an hour from Leicester too.

But good to know someone relatively close for a base grind if/when needed as I can do everything else myself.
