New Ski Prep

So I just picked up a new pair of Blends and am having them mounted with px12 jibs.

I'm heading out west soon and am just wondering what I should do to prep them. Do they need an edge tune, base grind (when do you do this any way?), ect...

RIght now I was thinking of just doing a nice hot wax and then heading out.
Any suggestions?

For new skis, especially recreational skis, a few hot waxes will do the trick. You really want to load the pores of the base up with as much wax as possible, especially if its a new ski. The edges and base should be good to go, unless you prefer a different edge angle than stock. For a lot of good info on tuning and prep for different types of skis and skiing, check out swixschool.com. Basically the more wax the better, and you should be good to go.
