I would have thought a good going over with a gummi stone would revive them.

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

Is it just on the tips, or on the sides as well?
If just the tips, I'd clean the rust off, won't affect performance surely?
if it is the edges, might want to consider action against the airline failing to get them on the plane and obviously leaving them out in the rain for a while...

Zero-G, 20 minutes with a stone will fix that.... or I'll take them of your hands for £20

Ermm get over it. It's some surface rust 5 minutes skiing & it'll all be gone. If you're feeling really anxious about it run them over with some really fine sand paper or a gummi stone & then put some storage wax on them.

There is rust on the edges but not as heavy as on the tips. I'll give them a going over with a gummi. The rust on the tips is etched quite deep and the cause of my distress. Don't think a gummi or sandpaper will do much to it.
ski, you'd have to pry them from my cold dead fingers. I may not like the graphics but I am very attached to these skis - they perform like a dream.
frank4short, I know, I know, I'm being precious; they are just skis, after all. But this is my first pair - it's like having someone sully the memory of your first kiss. Ok, not such a great analogy but you know what I mean.

THEY'RE ONLY SKIS!!! Surface rust on edges is something that just happens. Just like scratches on your topsheet. I take it you don't complain about your skis being on their last legs every time someone stands on them in the lift queue? Or when you accidently cross them? Or when you rest them up against a wall when going in for a pint apres? Anyway you get the gist, skis are meant to be used and abused. Otherwise you're not doing it right. So when there's a little rust on the edge or a scratch on them just think of it like you're using them properly & stop being so precious.

I guess that is the disadvantage of a sportstube compared to a bag which would have dried out and let the skis 'breath' a little....

frank4short, sorry mate, but that's a crap post. They're his skis, they cost her money, and skis are not meant to be abused at all. Used, yes, abused no.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Fix your planks on your roofbars for a trip across Scotland with lots of salt on the roads and rust is inevitable within a few hours. It can also work in your favour though by giving you a great visual guide before sorting your edges.

No problem, have been mistaken for a 'he' on here before (danged username is a tad too androgynous).
