Review from Arlen N.

Professional looking shop, pleasant service, good turn around time.
Shop area is well complimented with what looks to be the entire Wintersteiger ski/board tuning machine catalog. Having that smell of wax and P-Tex in the air, VSBS comes across as a professionally run business of skiers/riders for skiers/riders.
Service was pleasant and the small staff seem very knowledgeable. Work was of high quality and turn around time was better than expected.
It was advertised while i was there they offer affordable off-season ski/board storage, which great for Vancouver apartment dwellers. -

This place specializes in fixing up skis and snowboards. It's a one-stop shop. Parking is tough before 9:30am but they have one parking spot in the lot next door dedicated for this shop. They know what they're doing and they've been there for years.
Tune-up for skis cost $45, no filler. Not bad, but the kid off Craigslist is cheaper at $20 for fixing up skis in his home shop. I wonder if that guy is any good. Anyway, I got my skis back in two days' turnaround and they're back to virgin status.
The bad news: Binding adjustments cost $28, even for demo bindings. I wouldn't pay this much to level up, so I'm going to have to look elsewhere.
The good news: they do have summer storage, and it's the same price for the tune up. For $45 in May, they take and tune up your skis, and have them ready for you to pick up when you start the winter season. That's a pretty good deal, and I'll be sure to take them up on that this coming May (that is, if I don't go on that summer South American ski tour I've always wanted to do).
