 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
I tuned my skis in early 2020 and then obviously didn't get to go last year. I'm wondering if they will have dried out now and need waxing again? I'm thinking no harm in doing it anyway?
Thanks
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
I would say there is no harm in doing it, I do all my skis every year at the beginning of the season when taking them out of storage. Gives you a chance to give them a look over and make sure there is nothing wrong with them too!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I leave the wax on and don't scrape and polish during the Summer.
However, if I had scraped and polished I don't think I would wax again unless there were visual indications that they'd dried out.

Take a look at them and see if they are still all uniform black and slippy. If they are you don't need to wax them...but mine are like that and will still be getting another waxing as it's just part of the ski holiday excitement build-up

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

^ this. I'm pretty generous with the wax too and try to get a good smudge down the edges to give a little corrosion resistance too.

Thanks for your responses, I thought I’d left a storage coat on but when I got them out that didn’t look the case. I’ll give them a once over, to try out the vises I have on order if nothing else!
