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 :-)

Caring for skis
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hi,

I have got a new set of skis and it looks like it will be my last pair for a few years. Before when I bought skis I was not too bothered about them, they were at the cheaper end of the market. On some skis I have noticed rusting on the edges.

So what are good tips for increasing the longevity and performance of my new skis

- what should I do at the end of the day before packing them in my ski bag?
- how should they be stored?


Any tips or suggestions would be welcome.


Thanks.

Knock most of the snow off when you're done, dry them when you're finished and store them somewhere cool and dry. Keep the edges sharp, holes filled and wax them. A bit of rust from leaving them over summer is normal and will come off through abrasion with the snow. Some people lump 'storage' wax on them but really I don't see that as necessary unless you are intent on leaving the poor thing in some horrendous conditions.
