Do you need to remove Spruce riser for tuning / base grind?

[warreo]

Hi folks,

This is probably a dumb question but do y'all remove your Spruce riser/bindings before giving it to the local shop for tuning and/or base grinding?

I've always rented skis before so never had to worry about it but now with a pair of Crossbows I want to make sure I'm following best practices.

I have to imagine most ski shops will have little/no experience with skiboards, so I am assuming removing the risers are advisable to keep things as simple as possible. Wasn't sure if I was overthinking it, or if it is important to keep the bindings attached to the boards for some reason...?

I always remove my bindings when getting a base grind or tuning myself.

Thanks slow, that's what I figured as well.

Depends on the machine but usually you don't need to. If the shop does not have robotic tuning machine than its a little bit helpful to the tuner to not have the bindings on but they can work around it. I work in a ski tuning shop.
