My guess is that initial measurement is wrong. Dave would be nuts to send out skis that way and he clearly he did not intend to send them out that way.

On ski shops doing tuning, my experience is that unless you have Willi Wiltz or Start Haus doing it (where we know we have race quality technicians that know much more than I do) you are better off doing it yourself (assuming you know how). I have learned a lot fropm Thor Kallerud, Harald Harb and Willi Wiltz and all that I have learned has given me the ability to see when soneone really doesn't know what they are doing. Unfortunatley it is most and often in even the most highly trafficked and reputable shops. BUYER BEWARE!! You skis may never be the same. I am very protective of my skis, and will not let just any monkey work on them. I recommend that you all take the same stance.

Jim, I am increasingly believing that the guy that measured your skis has simian roots!!
