The Difference
Why Hand-Tuned
Big shops run your gear through a machine and hand it back. Here it goes on one bench, in front of one pair of eyes, start to finish.
No Machines
No Machine Grinders
Machine grinders eat base and edge material fast — and shorten the life of your gear with it. Hand work takes off only what's needed. Your skis last longer and ride better.
Deep Freeze Ready
Built for Canadian Cold
Eastern Ontario swings from mild slush to −25° hardpack. Wax is matched to the conditions you'll actually ride — not whatever came out of a shop dispenser.
Start-Gate Standard
Race-Proven
We sponsor Batawa Ski Hill's race program, and the same race-grade standard that goes into a competitor's skis goes into yours — gate or no gate.
The crossed-skis badge — slapped on gear all over the Quinte region.
Official Sponsor of Batawa Ski Hill
True North Alpine backs Batawa's race program — the racers and families who live at the hill all winter. Local hill, local bench, local riders.
