that time of year again: The first snowflakes are falling; winter hats and gloves,
jackets, boots and skis and snowboards are being pulled from the back of the
closet. Ski season won鈥檛 be here for a few weeks . So for most of us there is still time to file out the
nicks and dings in our ski edges and bases we didn鈥檛 deal with last year.
If you

in your basement, the easiest way to set your skis or board up for a hassle-free tune is with the . Made in Montana, this clampless ski vise is the perfect tool for hand-tuning your
skis. The Vise holds any ski with its own camber so that you don't have clamps
or knobs in the way while you file or wax.
For base work, set the tip of the ski under the front piece of the Eggbar, a metal bar, and get to work. To sharpen edges, the ski pressure fits into a rubber v-groove in the laser-cut steel vise. But apartment dwellers be forewarned: you do need to screw this vise into a table or workbench, even if it鈥檚 a folding one.
The original Eggbar Vise is made for single ski tuning, the double is made for tuning both skis at once or tuning a snowboard. And Eggbar has accessories, like tracks that let the back piece slide easily. Available now, $249-$445; .
