SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (January 29, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Geartrade, the award-winning online resale platform for used outdoor gear and apparel, this month announced a new service for wintersport enthusiasts – the opportunity for a high performance ski or snowboard tune before the gear gets boxed up and heads out the door to its new owner.

The elevated level of equipment service is a first-of-a-kind innovation for hardgood resale platforms in the outdoor industry, and is available on any ski or snowboard purchased through Geartrade.

Provided with the support of a state-of-the-art Wintersteiger machine tuner acquired in 2023, the new Geartrade tuning services provide a stone ground finish, sharpening and polishing of edges, and application of base wax. Each tune will cost $40 and be added to the purchase price at checkout.

“The ultimate goal at Geartrade is to make sure that buying and selling outdoor gear is a positive and easy thing for everyone to enjoy. We’ve applied a ton of energy, thought and resources into making Geartrade incredibly simple to use, and our addition of premium services like board tunes adds a level of personal service that really sets us apart,” said Aaron Provine, president of Geartrade.
