Ski storage question?

Question

so after today, i think that im done for the season.

what should i do to the skis before storing them?

and the boots?

Thanks!

Answer 1

a good way to keep your bases from drying out and the edges from rusting is to get your skis waxed, but ask the shop to leave the layer of wax on.  most shops will remove the wax next season if you keep the receipt. the wax will penetrate the bases and keep them air tight all summer.

Answer 2

tune the skies so they dont rust or it will be hard to ski on them next season, dont let them get wet, and use strapes to keep them togeather the boots can just be dried out

Answer 3

Boots should be cleaned of all dirt and the liners removed and dried before storage.  Inspect for any damage to the buckles, straps and liners and foot beds. Make the repairs, put them back together, buckle them closed and put them in a plastic sack to keep pests out. Store in a cool dry place, not in a hot garage ceiling area.

  Skiis should be inspected for damage, the edges sharpened and then hot wax them a warning sign on the skiis to reset the tension before you use them next fall.  

  This should give you a good pair ready to go except for the DIN setting.  Sorry you are done for the season, I've another month to go before the area closes.
