Waxing Guide

What is the best way to store my skis through the summer months?

P-Tex is prone to oxidization and if improperly stored, can dry out. Dry bases lose their wax-absorbent properties and gliding performance suffers. The easiest way to prevent this is to iron in a low-temp glide wax like Swix CH10 or Universal Warm and let it dry without scraping. The layer of wax acts as a protective coating as your skis sleep through the hot summer months. When all is right and white again, a few scrapes is all it takes to revive them from stasis and suddenly you'll be skiing again.
