First check up on the internet what you need to do then, buy an edging tool for the edges to give them back their edge and file away any scrathes, then clean off old wax and dirt from surface of the ski's, then with a waxing iron apply ski wax (Like GALLUM etc) when this is apllied evently to the surface scrape off excess wax, brush off the surface with a brass brush and you are ready for SPEED !

Do world cup skiers use the same skis as you buy?

Not unless you are a ski racer yourself, and were lucky enough to get top of the line equipment. World Cup skiers get the best race skis that their factory makes. They have many different pairs of the same type (downhill skis, for example) that they will test to see which are the fastest. Race skis are highly specialized and differ greatly from demo skis or skis that the public usually buys. You can see this reflected in the price. Race skis typically run $800-$1000 for the skis, not including bindings.

How do you tune a snowboard?

No downhill skis are not an instrument, but they still need to be "tuned". Tuning your skis means keeping the edges sharp, the bottoms smooth and free of burrs, and waxing your skis. Basically you are keeping your skis in top shape so that they run faster down the ski slope because the goal in ski racing is to be the fastest. Sharpening the edges - You have sharp metal edges along the sides of your skis. The purpose of these edges is to allow your skis to cut into the snow otherwise known as "carving" a turn. If you didn't have edges you would slide all over the ice and snow and have trouble turning. You use an edge sharpener. Dull edges will cause your skis to slide out, especially on ice so you have to make sure they are sharp. The edges shouldn't cut you, but they should be sharp. Consult your local ski shop for proper technique. They can often do this for you. You should have it done at the beginning of each ski season if you ski every now and then.

Are snow skis already tuned and ready to ski right from the factory?

no go have them tuned at your local ski shop A. That depends. Most factory finishes are fine for novice-intermediate skiers (assuming the base is flat) but you will still need to hot wax your skies to obtain better glide, durability and longevity of the bases. Better skiers and races will always tune their skis the way they like them, and that generally means changing the base and side edge angels. Most skiers don't "detune" their edges any more with the newer shaped skis. A ski that grabs too much is more likely the fault of poor balance and not the tune.
