The Wax Future
The Wax Future is a World Cup quality waxing machine for snowboards, alpine and cross country skis. The Wax Future provides the highest level of racing quality waxing, results proven on the World Cup circuit using the infrared technology. Far superior to the classic “Hot Box”, the ski base is able to absorb more wax which penetrates deeper due to the infrared radiation and heat. As a result, a more perfect glide over longer distances, which means you will be faster – for longer.

Awesome service. I have been in twice since moving to QT. My skis badly needed a tune and the workshop staff did a great job and worked quickly. The second time I needed help purchasing gear and getting it installed, and both the front of house and workshop staff were fantastic. Thanks all.
Fantastic snowboard wax service at a fair price.
Got a fancy ski tuning machine and plenty of knowledge there.
Ski tune and wax great service. The guys in the workshop are gents. Great chat and they had the skis sharp and waxed in no time. Absolutely would recommend.
Got a great deal getting the bases on our slightly shabby skis fully machined and waxed. The workshop team were very friendly, and overall it was a 5-star experience
Great service and a noticeable difference. I got a set of secondhand skis for my first season in QT. They were okay but I thought they deserved some extra love and attention to help me do better on the slopes. Once they received the special treatment they are doing much, much better. Thank you to the team and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who would like to give their skis some well deserved love.
Great tune, two pairs of skis turned around in two hours. Friendly team too, thanks.
Nice guys to deal with. They did a good job quickly. Thanks.
