We won’t be storing our skis in the hot garage this year, and have relegated all of them to a spare basement room, which is the bike storeroom in the winter. All have a nice thick coat of summer wax on them.

I’ve got less than 20 days on my Dynafits, but I’ll give ‘em a looking over. The skis need a coat of wax, and I’ll need to epoxy that gouge in the topsheet some day also. Dhelihiker: We’re with you, man!

On thing I like to do at the end of the season is sit down and have a good cry. It doesn’t really help my skis but I generally feel alot better. My wife will pat me on the head and say”don’t worry little critter, November is just around the corner.”

Hey Lou,
We also like to buckle our boots for summer storage, we find the plastic has a high memory, and will try to straighten out without tension.

Also a good inspection of the buckles and a fresh water flush for the boots, doesn’t hurt.
