It is important to store your skis
or snowboards properly so that it remains in great condition for the next ski
season. Many people make the mistake of throwing their skis in the bag after
the final ski session and forgetting about it until the snow comes back. Little
do they know that the moisture in the bag can cause serious rust damage and
corrosion over the long summer season. Thus, a professional tune is often
required to remove the rust from the edges; religious compliance to proper ski
maintenance will surely give you less stress when the time comes that you need
to bring out the skis.
Cleaning has been and is always
the number one rule in ski storage. When it comes to cleaning, the word WAX is
always on the list. Lots and lots of wax will preserve your ski’s quality but
you have to make sure that the skis are clean. This is especially true if you
have been doing a lot of spring skiing on dirty or salted snow. A good shower
for your skis will help the wax stick perfectly. Focusing on the edges is a
huge deal; when the rust starts at one part of the ski edge, it is up to you to
keep them spotless to avoid spreading or corrosion. Make sure to refresh your
ski’s base before putting it into the ski storage. If you suspect that your
skis have any base damage consider the skis stoneground to reveal a fresh base
in the spring before summer storage. A fresh base is the most import feature in
a skis ability to hold wax and to glide. A thick layer of soft non-fluoro
glider will serve as a seal to the wax.
Ski storage is not much of a
detailed task but problems with screws and other tools will make things worse. Ski
storage that is free from moisture and extreme sunlight can also damage small
parts of your ski. Extreme temperatures are not good for equipment. So by
taking extra time to put your equipment away carefully, you can save a lot on
tuning.
