It had a full service at Legacy Lodge in Park City, they fill in any rock caused imperfections in base with a ptex gun, then do a base grind then put a structure on the base surface, finally they do the edges with a one and one degree bevel.
A snowboard has a flat plastic bottom (called the base) that glides on snow, and thin metal edges along the sides that dig in so you can turn and stop. Over time, rocks and hard snow can scratch or gouge the plastic base and dull the metal edges. A “full service” (like the one done at Legacy Lodge in Park City) is basically a professional tune-up that restores both.
Here’s what each step means:
Fill in rock damage with a Ptex gun
They melt a special plastic (Ptex) into any scratches or holes in the bottom of the board, almost like filling a pothole in a road. This smooths out the damage so the board glides properly again instead of catching or feeling rough.
Base grind
They run the whole bottom of the board over a machine that shaves a thin, even layer of plastic off. This flattens everything out and removes any leftover uneven spots from the repairs or normal wear.
Put a structure on the base surface
After the grind, they cut a fine pattern of tiny grooves or texture into the plastic base. Think of it like the tread on a tire or the tiny channels on a ski/snowboard that help water slide off instead of sticking. This makes the board glide more smoothly and faster on snow.
Do the edges with a one-and-one degree bevel
They sharpen the metal edges and angle them slightly:
1° on the base side (the bottom)
1° on the side wall
This is a standard, balanced setting that gives good grip for turning without being too aggressive or grabby. It’s like sharpening and angling a knife so it cuts cleanly but isn’t overly sharp or angled in a weird way.
In short: The shop fixed any rock scars, flattened and textured the bottom so it glides well, and sharpened/angled the edges so the board turns and holds an edge properly. It’s the snowboard equivalent of taking a car in for new tires, an alignment, and a basic service so everything works smoothly again.
