Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Just done my final trip of the Season and its time to put the Skis away - I had them serviced before I went away and the wax seems pretty intact. I have a few small minor tiny rust spots on the edges - do i leave them or not? if so what do I do to them?

Still worth rubbing down the edges to remove the rust spots. Then wax over to keep that way (a soft wax which will be easy to remove at the start of the winter and do not bother to scrape). A rub over with Zardoz Notwax can also help as it has a rust inhibitor.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'd sharpen the edges with a diamond stone, do a hot wax & hot scrape to clean the base up and then do another wax and leave on.
(or just leave them in the garage for a year like I did last season...........)

Any advice on whether to hang them, lean them, lay them down? Or doesn't it really matter?
Just thinking of my new, precious skis
