Soften up skis

[ratnation]

After The Bunch posted Finesse, a ski softening thread has to happen. So, how does NS soften up their skis? Jump on them between cinderblocks Max Hill style? Heat gun?

Um.... I ski them. that seems to work just fine. Start off by buying the correct ski and see how far that will take you.

Before skiing, completely soak the ski in warm water for 2-4 hours.Remove ski. Ski. Profit.

Definitely that.

but for real buy a ski that is meant to be softer and actually ski it.

Why would you want to punch out your skis prematurely? There are enough ski options out there that you should beable to grab a ski off the shelf with the flex pattern you want.

Your mom paid good money for your skis.. if you want a new pair next year, dont fuck them up!
