i know some skis dont work very well for it, but sometimes it works if you take a hairdryer and blow it on it to like heat it

besides heat the only real remedy is not crossing your skis...
which isnt all that easy

clean your ski with rubbing alcohol before you put the sticker on...it removes any oil/dirt particles, then do the hairdryer thing

yep. ive gotta try the hairdryer method next time. i lost a large skullcandy skull diecut, an ns diecut, a large candygrind sticker, and a rossi sticker. all from brand new skis that hadnt been out yet. first and second day out they just got less and less personal to me.

yeah the cleaning is important, and the alchol sounds like a good way to do it, ive just been using a rag and making sure theres no dust or water. and put them where your skis dont come in contact as much, like i find if i put them near the tip or tale theyll stay for a while, whereas right in front of my binding there gone in a day. i also used the hairdryer thing and found it worked. just maje sure its not too too hot that it bubbles or lifts the glue under your topsheet. and then again stickers are stickers and aernt too strong against sharp metal edges.

This is gonna sound really stupid. But put Clear Duct Tape Over them. I tried this for this season. I had tried two different ways.
1) Duct Tape over logo cut out of paper.
2) Duct Tape over a sticker
I have ski'd 4 days this year. No scratches on either. And if your farther than 4 feet away you can't tell theres clear duct tape over it.

Tips and tails, right in front of and right behind your bindings. Only way for stickers to stay. Or put them on right after your last day of the season. That worked for me. The longer they are on the more likely they are to stay on.

make sure the rubbing alcohol is fully evaporated from teh surface of your ski before you put it on. rubbing alcohol is a solvant for most adhesives
