Expert Racing Department


New Jersey Ski & Snowboard Racing Experts

Our Wayne location is home to Ski Barn’s exclusive Racing Department in New Jersey, offering dedicated race equipment experts and specialized services for competitive skiers. Several members of our staff are former racers themselves, bringing firsthand experience and deep knowledge of the sport. We carry top racing brands and have the ability to special-order equipment to meet the specific needs of racers at all levels. Our team specializes in properly fitting race ski boots and creating custom footbeds designed to improve precision, comfort, and performance. To help families with growing junior racers, we offer seasonal rentals of high-performance ski race boots, making it easier to keep young athletes properly equipped throughout the season.

Our Racing Department includes a staff of ski and boot experts, many with racing backgrounds, an expanded and fully stocked race selection featuring leading brands, and access to seasonal junior race boot rentals. We also provide the highest quality race tunes using Ski Barn’s Montana Robotic Crystal Glide Finish Machine, capable of applying race-specific structure to ski bases. Racers can purchase race equipment at racer pricing every day of the week. In 2017, Greg Pier of Heinos and several key staff members moved into the Wayne location, further enhancing our race expertise. Appointments with Greg can be booked by calling 973-256-8585.

What Sets Racing Gear Apart from Recreational Equipment

Racing gear is designed with performance and precision in mind, setting it apart from recreational ski equipment. Race skis, boots, and bindings are built to deliver faster response, greater edge control, and increased stability at higher speeds. Materials used in racing gear are often stiffer and more technical, allowing for sharper turns and more aggressive skiing. Race boots typically feature a tighter, more responsive fit to improve power transfer, while recreational boots prioritize comfort and flexibility. Racing skis are also tuned differently, with specialized base structures and edge angles to maximize grip and glide on firm snow. This type of equipment requires proper setup and maintenance to perform as intended. While recreational gear is designed for versatility and ease of use, racing gear is engineered to meet the demands of competitive skiing and precise technique.
