It's alive! 

Downhill Supply Company’s newest hardware, a Wintersteiger Mercury Tuning Machine, was delivered today. Some assembly required.

Wintersteiger is an industry leader in the ski tuning world, developing the most cutting edge technology that is both energy and economically efficient. Their technology enables ski shops to maximize output, extend ski life, and even enhance the skier's experience on snow.

If you haven’t heard about them already, you will soon. These fully automated machines are revolutionizing the ski tuning industry and, inadvertently, skiing in general, by streamlining the tuning process and increasing tuning capacity in a fraction of the time it takes with older models.

The Winterstriger Mercury tuning machine will be a welcomed member to the team of technicians at Downhill Supply Co. who are continually building upon their knowledge of tuning processes and new technology. 

Weighing it at just under 5000 pounds, the tuning machine will measure 18 feet long and 6 feet tall once fully assembled - considerably larger than your typical fold-up tuning bench. 

Across the nation, the ski industry as a whole is seeing a transition from the older, outdated tuning models to the new automated machines that completely eliminate human error while drastically increasing the consistency of tune quality.  However, this machine is the first of its kind in the state of Maine.
