Just wondering if you guys do anything to your skis when you store them away for the next ski season. Things like P-tex, wax, etc. LMK

Keep it simple, hot wax scrape (to clean base), hot wax don't scrape (for storage). Some people rubber band the brakes and lift the heel piece, I don't do either of these because banding the brakes puts tension on the springs which can eventually wear them out, and lifting the heel piece doesn't really do anything and it just makes them harder to store. Some people also crank down the DINs, this is a good idea...but don't forget to put them back (the reason I don't do this...caused me a problem once).

Ya this pretty much sums it up. Just make sure you get the edges good so they don't rust!!!

mine usually get 1 layer of wax and they sit in my room as is. little bit of dirt or a tiny tiny bit of rust work make your skis break
