How to Store Ski Gear

When ski season comes to an end, you will need to store your ski gear. Storing your ski gear properly will make it last longer. Preventing damage to your ski gear will also make it safer for you to use. Fortunately, storing your ski gear properly is not a hard thing to do.

Supplies needed:

• 
  

  Rags

  
  


• 
  

  Water

  
  


• 
  

  Cleaning solution

  
  


• 
  

  Wax

  
  


• 
  

  Paper towels

  
  

1. 
   

   Separate your ski gear. Make sure
   that the boots, jackets and skis are separate. Put any ski goggles
   to the side.

   
   


2. 
   

   Use the rags to dry off your ski
   gear. Make sure that you get all of the snow and water from the snow
   off of your ski gear.

   
   


3. 
   

   Remove the lining from your ski
   boots so that your boots can properly dry. Storing wet boots can
   damage the boots. When the boots have dried, reinsert the lining
   into them.

   
   


4. 
   

   Use the cleaning solution and
   water to clean the ski goggles. Wipe down the skis with the cleaning
   solution and water. Dry the skis with the rags. Use paper towels to dry the ski goggles.

   
   


5. 
   

   Wax the skis. Make sure that you
   properly apply the wax to any metal pieces on the skis. The wax will
   help prevent rust from forming on the skis when the skis are in
   storage.

   
   


6. 
   

   Place your ski boots in the back
   of a closet. Do the same with the skis. Make sure that
   the skis are standing up. Also hang your jacket up in a closet. Place
   your ski goggles and gloves in a drawer for safe keeping.
