take care of your skis

Tips from the experts!

Do you want better glide, sharper edges, and skis that last longer? Then proper ski care is essential. Whether you hit the slopes, the park, or the powder, your skis will perform better and feel more responsive with regular maintenance. Here are our top tips for keeping your equipment in top condition!

Grind the edges for better grip

Sharp steel edges provide better grip on harder surfaces and more control in turns. With a file, you can easily keep your edges in top condition!

  • Sharpen regularly to prevent the edges from becoming too dull.
  • Use a diamond file to fine-tune and remove imperfections.

How often you should have your skis serviced and sharpened depends on how much you ski, but at least once per season is recommended to keep them in top condition. A professional sharpening evens out the edges, refreshes the base, and provides a new structure – which not only improves glide but also makes the skis much easier to maintain.

Wax for better glide & protection

Ski bases wear down and dry out over time, causing them to lose their glide and become harder to turn. By regularly waxing your skis, you ensure that:

  • The glide becomes better and more consistent.
  • You protect the base from drying out and wear.
  • The skis feel more responsive.
  • Use a plexi scraper to remove old wax.
  • Brush the base with a nylon brush to open up the structure.
  • Apply new wax and scrape off the excess. For even better glide, brush the ski with a fine brush.

There are two different types of wax: liquid wax and paraffin. You heat paraffin wax into the base with a waxing iron, while liquid wax is applied and then brushed out.

Store your skis correctly

When the season is over or you take a break from skiing, it's important to store your skis correctly. The easiest way to avoid rust and drying out is to:

  • Apply a layer of storage wax and do not scrape it off.
  • Store the skis in a dry place, not in damp basements or cold garages.
  • Ensure that the steel edges are dry to avoid rust.
