Hickory & Tweed's service center features Wintersteiger and Huber machines exclusively. We are constantly investing in our tuning and binding testing machines to ensure the highest quality of work in our service shop. As part of our recent $75,000 investment, we purchased a double wide stone grinder for tuning snowboards.
Hickory & Tweed is one of the few ski shops in the America that offers expert edge, base and top sheet repairs. New this year – we offer an Iron Wax option – as baby boomers know, this option provides a deep wax base that soaks into the base and lasts longer. Edge & Wax, Minor Tune, Major Tune, Snowboard Tune, Race Tune and binding safety checks as well as custom repairs and a variety of services on an a la carte basis – all available at Hickory & Tweed Ski Magazine’s National Ski Shop of the Year, Regional Ski Shop of the Year – East, and Gold Medal Ski Shop five years running, named one of America’s Best Bootfitters, and Westchester Magazine’s Best Ski Shop in Westchester County – we’re doing something right. And a large part of what makes the Tweed a top choice of serious skiers is our Service Department.
Service and Safety Matter Each pair of skis and bindings go through at least 5 safety checks by our certified service technicians before you take them home. We use the same machines to test bindings and tune skis that the manufacturers use! The ski industry has worked
really hard to provide value in the sense that the gear that is coming
out makes skiing more fun with less work (and if you don’t
mind a little effort, you'll get more performance). Side cuts, binding
systems and comfort of boot equal more fun less work. Tweed's Tech Talk Why structure your base? The
friction caused by a ski or board moving over snow creates beads of
water. If the bottom is not textured the water will create suction or
drag which slows you down. Our double wide stone grinder ensures
smooth, precise tune-ups for your board's extra wide base. Hickory & Tweed is a recipient of America's Best Bootfitter Award-2006/2007
