The New Wintersteiger OMEGA Machine

The New Wintersteiger Omega – What it Does for You

A quality grind is a critical part of a good ski tune, and with the addition of a Wintersteiger Omega, Start Haus continues to offer cutting edge options for ski tuning, whether you’re a racer or recreational skier.

Why is the Omega better?

First – it has the ability to grind separate patterns for the sides, or margins, of the ski.

On the ski, that means Start Haus can set one pattern down the middle – say an aggressive pattern designed to move water, making for a faster ski on warm, wet snow. But where a traditional grind would put that pattern right out to the edge, where it can be grabby when making turns – the Omega can give you two smooth margins down the sides of the ski.

That makes for quicker, smoother turn initiation and release without grabbing – giving your ski a sportier, more playful feel.

For racers, quick turn initiation without grab saves speed and momentum too.

Beyond the ability to create margins on the ski – the Omega just gives a better grind overall. Smoother, more precise – it all adds up to a faster, better feeling ski.

A grind on the Omega costs $70, compared to a standard grind at $45 – but when you’re looking for the best, the Omega delivers. Give it a try next time you bring your skis in for a tune and wax, you won’t be disappointed.
