Ski Maintenance

What Sort of Upkeep Do Skis Require?

Regular ski upkeep is vital for an optimal skiing experience. There are numerous ways to maintain your skis in excellent condition, from drying them after use to stone grinding the base. Many of these tasks can be performed without a professional, and here you will discover many of the tools needed to fine-tune your skis on your own.

Among the key tools for ski care is the wax brush. Ski wax brushes perform a variety of functions based on the type of brush. Metal brushes are utilised at the beginning of the waxing process to cleanse the base. Following this, the horsehair brush removes wax from the ski structure, and finally, the nylon brush seals the ski base.

To apply wax to the skis, you'll require a ski wax iron, and to ensure you have the ideal amount on your skis, be sure to use a ski wax scraper. Other upkeep equipment available in this section includes convenient accessories like base cleaners and edger kits.

How Regularly Should Skis Be Serviced?

The frequency with which you should service your skis depends on the frequency of their use, so naturally, the more you ski, the more often they will require maintenance. Nonetheless, it's always advisable to check your skis regularly for any signs of dryness, dirt or damage.
