Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Have a mechanic tune your skis and reset the bindings at the beginning of each season.
-
Step 2
Wax your skis every couple of weekends during the ski season to help protect the base.
-
Step 3
Switch skis from left to right foot now and then to distribute wear evenly, unless the skis are specifically designed for each foot.
-
Step 4
Wipe your skis down religiously after every use - especially around the bindings. This will help prevent rusting along the edges of the skis.
-
Step 5
Transport your skis either inside the car or in a waterproof bag, again to prevent rust from forming along the edges during your drive back home.
-
Step 6
Store your skis in a dry place during the season.
-
Step 7
Seal the bases and edges of your skis with storage wax at the end of every season to keep them from oxidizing and rusting.
-
Step 8
Turn down the release settings to keep them consistent, and keep in a dry place during summer storage.
-
Step 9
Scrape the wax off before skiing the following winter.

on 7/21/2009 Step 6 Skis should be stored in a dry place all year. Step 8 Changing release settings should be preformed only by a certified ski technician. What happens if skier forgets or skips step 1 or puts release setting at wrong number?
