What can I do to keep my skis looking good for years?Updated 6 days ago

Here are some tips to make sure your skis stay in good shape winter after winter.

1. Be careful when cleaning the snow off your skis with the other ski. If you hit the metal edge against the plastic top sheet it will eventually damage it (for example many people do this while sitting on chairlifts).

2. Be careful when putting your skis down or carrying them - if you bang them into a hard object (concrete/metal stairs/ceiling etc.) you can cause damage to them.

3. Use a velcro/rubber strap to keep your skis together and even better store them in a padded bag at all times.

4. If you transport your skis in racks on your car, they should be wiped down afterwards, to remove any salt/dirt from the road that may have gotten on them.

5. Make sure to bring them inside after skiing, to allow them to properly dry, so that the edges do not rust.
