End-of-Season Ski Care

How to Prep Your Skis for Summer Storage | Step-by-Step Tuning Guide

In this video, I walk you through the exact steps I use to prepare my skis for summer storage — keeping them in great condition and ready for next season.

Here's what I cover:

  1. Securing the brakes with a ski band for easier access

  2. Sharpening your plastic scraper for clean, effective waxing

  3. Scraping off any built-up dirt or debris from the ski base

  4. Brushing the base with a brass brush to clean and open the structure

  5. Applying a generous layer of wax to protect the base

  6. Ironing the wax in to saturate and seal the ski

Whether you're new to ski maintenance or just need a quick refresher, these tips will help extend the life of your skis and keep them fast for next winter.
