On ski holidays, at least drying skis and boots is a daily task.

To achieve this, remove coarse dirt from the skis and dry them. Afterwards, the edges should be sanded again with an edge grinder so that they are not susceptible to flash rust. In addition, the base should be reconditioned at the end of the season and small scratches and grooves have to be repaired as well. If the tread is then hot-waxed again at the end, it is optimally preserved for the summer months (do not brush it off!). If you don&#8217;t have the confidence to do this work or don&#8217;t have the equipment at home, it&#8217;s best to take the slats to a specialist shop for servicing.

Who wants to find mould in their inner boot after the summer? Therefore, you should remove the inner shoe from the shell or outer shoe and let it dry for several days. If you wish, you can also spray the sole and the inner shoe with a disinfectant spray. The outer shoe will also benefit from being cleaned of soil, road salt and other dirt. Only when all parts of the shoe are clean and dry should they be reassembled and stored with closed buckles or fixed lacing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-8598 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"Binding and ski boots should also be cleaned properly before summer and storage!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Binding and ski boots should also be cleaned properly before summer and storage!\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS5475_shutterstock_74204401-scr-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"8598\">\u00a9 Mikael Damkier\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Binding and ski boots should also be cleaned properly before summer and storage!<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"stowing-your-equipment\">Stowing your equipment<\/h2>\n<p>Ski or snowboard equipment should always be stored in a dry and dark room. Dry cellar rooms or attics are best suited. Garden sheds or garages are generally not recommended. In rooms with strong temperature fluctuations, there is a risk of condensation forming on the material and rust developing. Plastics react to UV radiation, so too much exposure to light should be avoided when storing.<\/p>\n<p>Skis can be stored individually or tied together with special neoprene straps that lie between the steel edges of the two skis, preventing ski on ski. Ideally, the skis spend the summer standing up.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"store-accessories-correctly\">Store accessories correctly<\/h2>\n<p>Protective equipment such as helmets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/safe-skiing\/ski-goggles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ski goggles<\/a> and gloves also need to be looked after. Before the helmet disappears into the cupboard or cellar, it should be thoroughly cleaned and ideally disinfected. With some models, the pads can be removed and washed separately.<\/p>\n<p>Ski goggles should only be cleaned with a microfibre cloth. The antifog coating on the inside should be rubbed as little as possible. For gloves with leather trim, regular leather care is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>With all protective equipment, it is important to look out for small cracks or defects that can impair protection. A helmet with a crack in the shell should definitely be replaced.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"care-for-ski-clothing\">Care for ski clothing<\/h2>\n<p>Ski clothing can be washed in the washing machine or dry cleaner. This also applies to third-layer jackets and trousers that do not lie directly against the skin. Only gentle detergents should be used for washing, and no fabric softener under any circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>For hardshell jackets and trousers, the impregnation should be refreshed after washing. There are special textile detergents that already contain the impregnation protection. However, depending on the outer material and manufacturer, a separate treatment with impregnation spray and subsequent fixing blow-drying is recommended.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-8601 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"Even if the sun is shining in the mountains in summer, your own ski equipment should be prepared and properly stored for the next winter.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Even if the sun is shining in the mountains in summer, your own ski equipment should be prepared and properly stored for the next winter.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-729x487.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-468x313.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/05\/RS4945_shutterstock_321268706-scr.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"8601\">\u00a9 IM_photo\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Even if the sun is shining in the mountains in summer, your own ski equipment should be prepared and properly stored for the next winter.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<p>The material is now dried, cleaned and safely stored in the cellar or attic.
