Our Ski Service Offerings Explained
Great ski days don’t just happen. They’re set in motion by our Outdoor Experts, who ensure your gear is just as ready for adventure as you are. Not sure when it’s time for a tune? If your skis are feeling sluggish, catching when they shouldn’t, or looking more chalky than shiny, that’s your cue. Bring them into our ski shop and we’ll have them gliding like new before your next run.
Here’s how we bring your skis back to life:
Ski Waxing
Want skis that feel brand new every time you hit the slopes? Fresh wax keeps your skis fast, smooth, and protected from wear. We offer quick belt waxes (free with qualifying skis) for a same-day refresh, plus custom hand waxes for top-tier performance at a fraction of standard resort prices.
Ski Tuning
You can’t control the weather, but you can control how your skis handle it. A full tune includes edge sharpening, base grinding, and a fresh wax, plus a ski binding test if you bring both boots. The result? An ultra-reliable grip, a smoother glide, and more fun on every run.
Ski Mounting
A good mount is more than just attaching bindings. It’s about balance, control, and matching your setup to your own unique skiing style. Our Outdoor Experts mount and adjust bindings to your liking so your skis feel like a natural extension of you and not a battle to control. Safety should always come first!
Pro Tip: Planning a last-minute trip? Service times vary, so we recommend calling ahead to confirm in-store availability. Some tune-ups can be completed the same day, so you’re back on the slopes in no time.

Top Ski Destinations Near the Franklin, TN, Area
You won’t find chairlifts in Franklin, but the Southeast delivers plenty of ski-worthy peaks just a road trip away. From the only ski resort in the state to iconic regional destinations just across state lines, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to trade city life for crisp mountain air and fresh runs. Pack the car, gather your layers, and let these top spots turn your Franklin winter into a true alpine escape:
Sugar Mountain – Banner Elk, NC
As North Carolina’s largest ski area, Sugar Mountain offers 20 trails, 8 lifts, and 125 acres of skiable terrain just under six hours from Franklin. It’s a favorite for families and groups thanks to its mix of beginner-friendly slopes, wide intermediate runs, challenging black diamonds, and stunning panoramic views. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, the resort features snow tubing, an ice-skating rink, and lessons for both kids and adults.
Special holiday events, night skiing, and live music add extra energy to the experience, though some visitors note that the dining options are limited. Weekends can get fairly crowded, so weekday visits are ideal if you’re seeking extra space or privacy on the slopes. With dependable snow and terrain that keeps everyone smiling, Sugar Mountain lets Franklin skiers trade long drives for satisfying runs.
Ober Mountain – Gatlinburg, TN
As Tennessee’s only ski resort, Ober Mountain holds a special place in the hearts of local skiers and snowboarders. Just over four hours from Franklin, this mountaintop destination is equal parts ski slopes, amusement park, and family playground. With 10 trails, a freestyle terrain park, and four lifts, Ober is relatively small compared to out-of-state resorts, but it’s perfect for beginners, casual skiers, or anyone who wants to mix time on the slopes with other fun activities. Winter here typically kicks off around Thanksgiving and lasts through early March, though the exact dates depend on the weather.
First-time skiers are required to take a lesson, which is a great opportunity to build confidence before tackling the resort’s beginner-friendly terrain. Beyond skiing and snowboarding, Ober Mountain also offers tubing, ice skating, and unique attractions like ice bumper cars and the Tennessee Flyer Mountain Coaster. Hop on the famous Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway for sweeping Smoky Mountain views, explore the shopping mall and restaurants at the base, or simply enjoy the atmosphere that reviewers call "a mountaintop of fun, excitement, and beauty."
Snowshoe Mountain – Snowshoe, WV
For Franklin ski enthusiasts ready to trade a half-day’s road trip for a true mountain escape, Snowshoe delivers pure winter magic. About nine hours from town, this West Virginia resort boasts 60 trails, three distinct ski areas, and a lively mountaintop village filled with restaurants, shops, and après-ski fun. The resort’s 1,500 feet of vertical drop and skill-tailored terrain parks make it a top pick for more advanced skiers, while beginner zones and lesson programs keep things approachable for newcomers.
Off the slopes, activities like snowmobiling, tubing, and scenic lift rides give every visitor something to enjoy. Guests consistently praise the vibrant summit village, excellent lodge amenities such as heated pools and saunas, and the immersive winter experience that makes Snowshoe Mountain truly feel like a "hidden gem" getaway.
