    Wintersteiger RS 350 and TrimJet Ski Tuning Machines for SALE - UPDATE- SOLD

    Wintersteiger OMEGA Racing RS 350 Ski Grinding Machine Base Grinder for SALE- $55,000  SOLD

    Besides the typical benefits of the Omega model range, a special feature of these models is the grinding stone width of 350 mm. You won’t just be able to grind skis and snowboards; you’ll also be able to work very efficiently, because the stone is divided. You can create two structures at the same time by setting a different structure on either half of the stone.

    The benefit is that it allows pre-grinding on one half of the stone and then follow up immediately with fine grinding on the other half. It is hard to imagine a more rational approach. Another positive aspect is the 100 memory slots to store any program needed in the machine. For racing specialists, the Omega RS 350 also offers a centering unit that supports easy and precise grinding of center specific racing structures (e.g. arrows structures).

    Machine can be crated and shipped from Truckee, CA with freight details discussed and arranged

  • Ski Boot Blowout Sale!

    Ski Boot Blowout Sale!

    So, here is the deal.  Here at Start Haus, we stand by our fit and our guarantee that your feet will be happy in our boots.  That's why we rarely, if ever, put boots on sale.  Its a distraction.  People begin focusing on the price over the how the shell fits.  They have the right boot on their foot, but they see the one over there has a sale tag on it and they'll save a few bucks.  "What about that one?" they say.  Well, THAT one is not the right boot for your foot!

    So, in short, it causes problems in our little world of perfect fits.  You'll save money, but you might ski less because your feet hurt.  Well then, damn it, how do we clear out old stock??  We do this: non-returnable boot blowout.  Its 70% off.  The boots may be a few seasons old, yet brand new.  You can save a ton of money here, but buyer beware-  These boots do not come with our guarantee, they do not come with a complementary 2 hour fitting session, and they are not returnable.  Get your feet
