So what do you do with your gear when it’s done?
Skis:
There are several different approaches to preparing your skis for the off season.
You could just take them straight out of the car and throw it in the closet or garage.
You could wipe them down and put away inside the house.
You could add a coat of storage wax and put them away inside.
You could even turn the DINs down, rubber band the brakes up and lift the heel piece lever.
What I find works best is to wipe them down, bring them inside and let them dry overnight.
Why should you do all of this?
Boots:
A bit simpler than skis, but there’s still options.
You could do nothing, leave them unbuckled, covered in dirt and throw them in the garage.
You could wipe them down but leave them unbuckled and bring them inside.
After everything is dry, replace the liners and buckle all the buckles and store them inside somewhere.
Cleaning off the mud is really just so that you don’t have mud in your house.
Base layers get a wash and hang dry and then hung in the closet.
So why go through all the trouble?
