About US

At Alpine Edge, we bring over 25 years of experience at the highest levels of skiing and mountain biking to the gear you ride every day. Our work has earned the trust of Olympians, world champions, and elite athletes worldwide, and that same precision, care, and attention to detail is available right here in Bellingham.

From e-bike motor repairs and complete suspension rebuilds to full ski and snowboard service, we help you get the most out of every ride and every run. We specialize in repairs other shops can’t handle, serving riders directly and acting as a trusted technical resource for shops nationwide.

Our state of the art Reichmann tuning machines deliver World Cup caliber stone grinding and full CNC edge sharpening for exceptional base finishes and precise, long-lasting edges. We match our custom base structures to Mt. Baker’s unique snow conditions and finish every complete tune with infrared hot wax for fast glide and lasting performance.

Our binding services combine precision mounting with release testing on our ultra-accurate Reichmann digital binding tester. We check actual release performance and proper function to help ensure an accurately adjusted setup, with safety and precision guiding every adjustment.

We keep a full range of parts for modern Öhlins, FOX, RockShox, MRP, and Vorsprung suspension in stock, with 24-hour turnarounds on all suspension rebuilds and most motor rebuilds. We’re also a factory-authorized service center for Shimano, Bosch, Avinox, Brose, Öhlins, FOX, RockShox, MRP, and Vorsprung.

For winter, we stock a full range of ATK and LOOK bindings and parts, along with the CAST system and accessories. Our selection continues to grow, with more ski brands and new inventory arriving daily.

Pivot & Wheel Bearing Service

Your bike’s bearings are the heart of smooth performance. Over time, dirt, moisture, and regular wear can cause them to drag, creak, or develop play. That not only makes your bike feel rough but also reduces suspension efficiency and ride quality.

At our shop, we keep a large selection of high-quality pivot and wheel bearings in stock, along with the specialized tools needed to remove and install them the right way. Whether it’s a full pivot bearing replacement or fresh wheel bearings, we make sure every install is precise and long-lasting—so your bike feels solid, smooth, and ready to ride.
