You\u2019ve avoided the rental store queues for the whole season, now it\u2019s time to look after your gear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not sure how it\u2019s done? Need a guide for end of season ski maintenance? Here\u2019s <strong>how to service your skis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Care for Your Skis<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the basics.<\/p>\n<p>Before packing up your skis for the year, there are some easy maintenance tips to remember. You want to leave your skis in the best condition possible, as the slopes will be waiting for you next season!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a basic ski maintenance guide:<\/p>\n<h3>How to Clean Skis<\/h3>\n<p>First thing\u2019s first, clean your skis well. Who wants to return to dirty gear next season?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve made the most of the pistes this year, your skis have probably taken quite a battering!<\/p>\n<p>Clean your skis with a garden hose and a cloth, while trying not to get the bindings too wet. Also, for the best results, allow them to air dry overnight if possible.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Tune Skis<\/h3>\n<p>For those who have had an intense season of tearing through the pistes, cleaning won\u2019t be enough! So, if you\u2019ve attacked the slopes properly, you\u2019ll need to tune your skis.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone in the dark, ski tuning is also known as ski sharpening. Keeping your skis sharp and rust-free is essential for your performance on the slopes!<\/p>\n<p>Before you get started, it\u2019s worth using ski securing vices to make the process more precise and safe.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering how to sharpen skis at home? Here are our tips for how it\u2019s done:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Remove burrs and dents from the edges <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skiequipmentuk.co.uk\/product\/waxes-and-tools\/files\/holmenkol-ski-edge-gummi-stone-deburring-block\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">with a gummy stone<\/a>, as they can easily turn into big spots of rust during the summer.<br \/>\n\u2022 Start with the base edge, flipping over to the other side when finished.<br \/>\n\u2022 Make smooth overlapping strokes with the file tip to tail.<br \/>\n\u2022 Avoid going back and forth!<\/p>\n<p>When sharpening the side edges of your skis, there\u2019s a bit more to think about:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Masking tape can help keep dust and filings from getting into the bindings, so stick this to the sidewall.<br \/>\n\u2022 To get the best edge possible, use the gummy stone at a 45-degree angle.<br \/>\n\u2022 When done, polish the edges off with a gummy stone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1819 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Alps2Alps_-End-of-Season-Ski-Maintenance.jpg\" alt=\"Alps2Alps_ End-of-Season Ski Maintenance\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Alps2Alps_-End-of-Season-Ski-Maintenance.jpg 900w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Alps2Alps_-End-of-Season-Ski-Maintenance-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Alps2Alps_-End-of-Season-Ski-Maintenance.jpg\" alt=\"Alps2Alps_ End-of-Season Ski Maintenance\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Alps2Alps_-End-of-Season-Ski-Maintenance.jpg 900w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Alps2Alps_-End-of-Season-Ski-Maintenance-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to Wax Skis<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re wondering how to service your skis, waxing is an inevitable part of the process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adrenaline junkies listen up! Waxing your skis has many benefits! It makes you go faster, turn more smoothly and protects your bases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, how often do you wax skis? Truthfully, you can do it as often as you like. However, most people forget until the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When waxing your skis, it\u2019s best to start on a clean and tuned base, so don\u2019t skip the previous steps!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">White areas or obvious \u201chairs\u201d are signs you need to wax your skis.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remove Old Ski Wax<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before applying new wax, get rid of any old wax first.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Use a ski wax brush to scrape off as much old wax as possible! While ski maintenance can seem tedious, this process is extremely satisfying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As with ski tuning, make gentle brushes from tip to toe, never back and forth!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apply Storage Ski Wax<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now apply a storage ski wax layer to protect skis from moisture and rust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are many ski wax types, but most experts suggest using hot ski wax (and avoiding liquid ski wax) for pre-summer ski maintenance:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Check the packaging to set the correct temperature on your ski wax iron.<br \/>\n\u2022 Hold a piece of ski wax against the iron and let it drip onto the base.<br \/>\n\u2022 Your skis will absorb a lot of wax during the summer, so use around three times more than you think is sufficient.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iron the Wax<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now take your ski wax iron and melt the wax evenly so that it covers the base fully and drips over the edges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To prevent you from burning the bases, keep the iron moving back and forth, maintaining tip to tail direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After this, let your skis rest for 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1820 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ski-rent.jpg\" alt=\"ski-rent\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ski-rent.jpg 900w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ski-rent-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ski-rent.jpg\" alt=\"ski-rent\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ski-rent.jpg 900w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ski-rent-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3>You may also like: <a class=\"color-button red\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/getting-skis-to-resort\/\">Getting Your Skis to the Resort: What You Need to Know<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ski Boot Maintenance<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We\u2019re all aware of the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/essential-ski-boot-fitting-guide\/\">wearing correct-fitting ski boots<\/a>, but what about maintaining them?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Taking care of your boots is much easier than your skis!
