What to do with your skis over the Summer

[HamFaceGirl]

I heard that you should put your dins down to 0, and apply a thick layer of wax to the bases, should you do these things? I use my older skis for summer seshs so these would just be in my room until November, so does turning your din to 0 and waxing a good idea and worth doing?

fap on them, then hot wax them

 

[TastyZ]

Just wax them and keep them in a dry place

Well I don't have access to a hot wax, should I just rub some wax on them?

 

[No_Dub]

anything is better than nothing

no candle wax though

i turn my dins to zero on all my skis, i heard it helps keep the spring tight. i have heard that from multiple people on here as well as local ski techs. and a thick layer of wax is definitly good, if you dont do that dont put them base to base.

yeah I know about the wax, but I'm still trying to see if turning the din down all the way wont fuck anything up

i honestly don't do shit to my skis in summer, they just stand there in the corner, looking all sad

except my indoor skis who see quite some action since i have this near where i live :

haha !!

soo sick man! I turn my dins down, i have heard that the spring lasts longer since it won't have tension on it the whole time. I also do a hot wax and leave the wax on. come fall i scrape the wax off.

 

[blah..]

Just turned the dins all the way down on my skis, that makes a lot of sense and I had never thought about it, thanks so much.

yeah just wax them you should be good

 

[Balto]

dins down, put a layer of warm temp wax on, good to go

Leave them in my room & look at them
