SF Sports workshop · Gilching near Munich
Our workshop – precision for ski service, race service & bootfitting
In the SF Sports workshop, we combine modern Wintersteiger technology, race-service expertise, bootfitting and real quality control. Our goal is not simply a clean ski, but a setup that fits the skier, the equipment, the skiing style and the intended use.
Wintersteiger Jupiter
V-Edge edge technology
Race NC race service
Basejet base repair
Bootfitting workshop
More than standard ski service
Workshop technology, experience and control make the difference
A good service does not start at the machine. We check the base, edges, binding, boot, intended use and skiing level first. Only then do we define the service that makes sense — whether it is classic ski service, race service or bootfitting.
Experience
Race experience, workshop practice and material understanding guide every decision.
Control
Every step is checked — from the base to the edge and through to the finish.
Setup thinking
Skis, boots, bindings, edges, structure and skier have to work together.
Machines & technology
The technology behind our ski and race service
Our workshop is designed for precise ski preparation, race service, base work, edge grinding, binding checks and bootfitting.
Wintersteiger Jupiter
Precise base grinding and V-Edge edge technology
The Wintersteiger Jupiter is the heart of our ski workshop. It enables precise base work, reproducible structures and high-quality edge preparation. With V-Edge, edges can be tuned in a particularly controlled and skier-focused way.
Race NC
Reproducible structures for race skis
Race NC is especially important for our race service. It enables precise, reproducible structures and targeted tuning for the use case, snow, discipline and skier.
Basejet
Clean base repair as the foundation
A damaged base needs a clean repair before grinding, structure and wax can work properly. The Basejet helps us prepare and repair base damage professionally.
Binding check
Binding adjustment with precise technology
Bindings are safety-critical. That is why we check and adjust ski bindings carefully. Always bring both ski boots for binding adjustment and testing.
Bootfitting
Ski boots, foot analysis and power transfer
In our bootfitting workshop, we adapt ski boots to your needs: foot analysis, footbeds, shell adjustments, liners and race setup provide better support, more comfort and more direct power transfer.
Process
From ski check to quality control
In our workshop, it is not just the individual step that matters, but the correct sequence. Only when base, edge, structure, binding and finish work together does the result feel convincing.
Check the equipment
We check the base, edges, bindings and condition of the skis to determine the appropriate service.
Repair the base
Base damage is prepared and repaired so the ski can be worked on properly in the following steps.
Grind and structure the base
The base is ground and given a suitable structure to improve glide.
Prepare the edges
Edge angles and edge tuning are matched to the intended use, skier and requirements.
Race NC / race finish
For racing skis and performance setups, structure, edges and finish can be tuned even more precisely.
Waxing & brushing
Clean wax application and the right finish improve glide and skiing feel.
Check the binding
When binding adjustment or testing is requested, we check the safety-related values.
Quality control
Finally, we check the result: base, edges, finish and overall condition must meet the requirements.
Three areas, one setup
Ski service, race service and bootfitting work together
Many people see ski service, race service and bootfitting as separate topics. In practice, they influence each other. That is why we treat your equipment as a complete system.
Ski service
For recreational and performance skiers and regular maintenance: the base, edges, structure, wax and bindings contribute to safety, control and skiing enjoyment.
View ski service
Race service
For racers, junior athletes, masters, clubs and ambitious skiers: edge angles, structure, sidewall and finish are tuned specifically for performance.
View race service
Bootfitting
For better power transfer, fewer pressure points and more control: ski boots, footbeds, shells and liners are assessed individually.

Learn how to maintain and prepare your skis properly
In our service courses, we show you in a practical way what matters in ski service, waxing, edge maintenance, brushing, scraping and choosing the right tools. Ideal for ambitious skiers, parents of junior racers, clubs and anyone who wants to understand their equipment better.

Understanding equipment
Course dates will be added online once our new appointment booking tool has been fully set up.
Quality control
In the end, it is not the machine that matters — it is the result
Modern technology matters, but it cannot replace experience, material knowledge and inspection. That is why we check every ski after servicing: base, edges, structure, finish and overall condition must match the requested service.
This inspection is especially important in race service and for performance skiers. Small differences in edges, structure, wax or setup can be clearly felt on snow.
