50th Anniversary Special- We Will Storage Wax Your Skis For $5.00!

Wow- what an amazing ski season! With the amazing amount of snow we had so much fun on the nordic trails and out at the hill.  Now that the season is wrapping up it is time to think about properly storing your skis for the summer season.

Applying storage wax to your skis is an essential step in preserving their performance and longevity. During months of use, ski bases are exposed to friction, moisture, dirt, and temperature fluctuations, all of which can dry out and damage the base material. Applying storage wax acts as a protective barrier, sealing the base from air and preventing oxidation. This will help maintain the integrity of the base structure so your skis remain fast and responsive when the next season begins.

Another important reason for using storage wax is to protect the metal edges from rust. Even in controlled indoor environments, humidity can lead to corrosion over time. A thick layer of wax covers not just the base but also lightly coats the edges, reducing their exposure to moisture. This prevents rust from forming and keeps the edges sharp and reliable, saving you time and money on repairs or replacements later.

Finally, applying storage wax makes it much easier to prepare your skis for the next year! Instead of starting from a dry, potentially damaged base, you’ll simply need to scrape off the old wax and apply a fresh coat suited to the current snow conditions. This quick turnaround ensures optimal glide and control right from your first run. Taking a little time at the end of the season to properly store your skis ultimately leads to better performance, longer equipment life, and a smoother start when winter returns. 

After your last run of the year stop by any of our store locations and take advantage of our 50th Anniversary celebration special where we will be offering a $5.00 storage wax for both nordic and alpine skis!  Drop off your boards now until May 1st and we will apply storage wax to keep your skis in top notch condition.  So what do you do next fall?  Bring those skis back to us and we will scrape and brush your skis FOR FREE!
