KMS Brings World-Class Equipment Preparation to Athletes with Mike Beers of Race Tech Ski Service

In an effort to further enhance support for our student-athletes, we are thrilled to announce the establishment of an in-house World Cup-level ski service, providing elite-level equipment preparation for our alpine athletes. Through a new partnership with Mike Beers, owner of Race Tech Ski Service, KMS athletes will now benefit from the same expert service and ski preparation as those on the U.S. Ski Team.

Having an in-house ski service technician at Killington Mountain School offers significant advantages for student-athletes. With Race Tech Ski Service on-site, skis are precisely tuned for optimal race-day performance. This immediate access to elite service saves time and allows coaches to make real-time adjustments in collaboration with the tuning staff, enhancing training outcomes. Utilizing state-of-the-art Wintersteiger equipment, Race Tech, delivers consistent, reliable tuning that provides a competitive edge. Personalized attention to each skier’s unique needs, boosts confidence and improves results. This will ensure KMS athletes are always equipped to perform at their best.

Mike Beers, principal and head serviceman at Race Tech Ski Service, brings his extensive experience and renowned tuning expertise directly to Killington Mountain School. Mike’s long career in both ski and cycling services, including over 15 years dedicated to high-level ski servicing, makes him the ideal partner for this exciting new venture. He has worked with some of the world’s best athletes as a service technician for the U.S. Ski Team, traveling the world with the men’s development and NorAm teams to ensure optimal performance at every competition. He has also supported Olympic level snowboard athletes and the para-snowboard team at World Championships.

Although Mike has spent 35 years in the ski industry, it was his time at Peak Performance Ski Shop, right next door to KMS, that truly set him on the path to the highest levels of the industry. Under the direction of Fred Coriell, Mike refined his skills in race ski tuning and preparation. This invaluable experience paved the way for his work with Wintersteiger, the U.S. Ski Team, and Swix. After Peak, Mike continued to grow under the mentorship of Graham Lonetto, a respected figure in ski service. Lonetto’s influence further deepened Mike’s expertise, helping him solidify his place as a trusted name in World Cup-level ski service.

His latest venture, Race Tech Ski Service, opening in mid-December, on-site at Killington Mountain School at 2708 Killington Road, provides full-service World Cup-level ski preparation, while his online shop skituningtools.com supplies high-quality ski tuning tools and wax. This level of expertise can also yield better quality results for the everyday skier, and therefore, in addition to serving KMS athletes, Race Tech will also offer both recreational and race ski service to KMS alumni and their families, with most services available overnight.

This partnership will also greatly benefit athletes in the KSC/KMS Development Programs. With access to professional overnight race ski tuning services upon arrival on Thursday or Friday nights, these athletes can hit the slopes each weekend with skis prepped for optimal performance. This ensures that they can fully capitalize on their training and racing opportunities, entering each session with confidence and fresh, pro-level race tunes.

With decades of combined experience in ski service, Mike and his team are excited to bring their expertise to Killington Mountain School and work directly with its athletes.
