Skiing, like a diet, requires impeccable balance and the ability to dodge delicious obstacles. Relish in snow-assisted descent with today's Groupon: for $24, you get a premium ski or snowboard tune-up (a $50 value) from AJ Motion Sports in Sandy City.

Located a short jaunt from Alta Ski Area and Snowbird Resort, AJ Motion Sports's fully trained and certified staff provides mountain-tamers with a host of winter sport equipment rentals and tuning services. Entrust your treasured planks for the premium tune-up and the experienced caretakers will conduct a comprehensive primping, which includes an edge sharpening, base grinding, stone grinding, hand waxing, and Swedish massage. After the tune up, an experienced board physician will thoroughly test board reflexes and palpate the body to assess any maintenance concerns. Each tune up also comes with a candle of P-Tex to assist in gear upkeep.
