FAQ
Why the name 7EVEN?
Pronounced 'Seven'. We would love to tell you a badass story about how we skied the 7 biggest mountaintops in the world. The real story is a little less glamorous. Seven was an amazing skiing-biking-frisbee playing Border Collie. Born with a fur '7' on her forehead, she just couldn't be named 'Fido' or 'Rex', so Seven it was. While starting to build skis, a lot of names passed the brainstorming session, but only one meant something: 7EVEN. Representing fast, sweet, solid, and trustworthy.

Why Should 7even tune my skis?
We take our job seriously. We take every step possible to ensure that your skis are tuned with precision using the highest quality equipment and craftsmanship. New for 24/25 is our Wintersteiger Mercury precision tuning machine.
Our staff is highly trained and we take quality control and friendly service to the next level. Our clients include US Ski Team athletes, local club racers, pro free ride skiers, and probably the most hardcore local skiers anywhere.
How often should I get my skis tuned
It depends on what kind of performance you need in your skiing. Racers will sharpen and wax daily, but Powder skiers can get away with minimal tuning. At a minimum, everyone should have skis ground flat every season. Skis are made with many different types of materials that expand and contract at different rates causing skis to become concave or convex. If skis aren't flat they can be difficult to control. Waxing and sharpening should be performed more often than a full stone grind. Stop by the shop and we are happy to take a look. If you need a wax or Pro Tune, we can help you determine if you need any work done.
Are you a ski tuning shop or a ski manufacturer?
Do you also tune and repair snowboards?
Yes. We specialize in skis, but we will use our expertise and skills to give your board a high-quality tune. We build skis because we are passionate skiers, but the process for tuning is the same for snowboards and one of our techs is a snowboarder himself.
In the past we have always built custom skis along with our ski tuning and repair business. With rising costs in materials and insurance, the financial viability for small ski builders has become unsustainable. For 2024/j25 we will be focusing on our thriving ski service business in which we serve a loyal group of hardcore skiers in the Wasatch.
