Getting Prepared for Ski Season

Six Exercises in Six Weeks.

Skiing is a sport that offers its greatest rewards for those prepared for its rigors. That’s because skiing isn’t just letting gravity pull you down the hill. It’s a full-body workout.

The reality of skiing is this – The more fit you are, the more you’ll enjoy being on the boards. You’ll be able to handle tougher and steeper terrain, and you’ll have the energy to ski all day. It also means you’ll have an extra bounce in your step for après-ski festivities, and you’ll sleep better at night (which will give you the requisite get-up-and-go for the next day on the hill).

That kind of fitness doesn’t happen overnight. Charles Lucarelli, a longtime personal trainer from the ski Mecca of Aspen, Colorado, encourages skiers to maintain an active lifestyle year-round, so they’re always ready to handle whatever physical challenges life throws at them. Get in shape tips

How to Store Ski Gear in the Off Season

As we close out another ski season it’s nearing time to prepare and store ski gear for the off-season. Just as cars require the oil to be changed or a grill needs cleaning and covering for the winter, ski gear requires preventative maintenance and proper off-season storage. By following our simple guidelines for cleaning, preserving and storing gear together, you will prolong the life of your gear and be ready to go when the snow starts falling.

Skis The level of attention skis require depends upon how much or hard they’ve been used. The easiest way to prepare skis for the off-season is to bring them in for a tune-up. The pros at local ski shops have the tools, work space and knowledge to do the job right. However, for those DIY types, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the tips below.

Clean Skis – Rinse your skis with a hose or in the shower (be careful of the tile). Wipe off any remaining debris and water with a soft but durable cloth. Let the skis air dry.

Remove Rust – Carefully remove rust from your ski edges with a Gummy stone, Scotch brite pad, or fine-medium steel wool.

Remove Old Wax – Brush the base a few times with a brass, copper or  bronze brush, or with a plexiglass scraper. If needed, use a mild citric solution/base cleaner.

Apply Wax – Apply wax generously to base and edges to protect from moisture and rust. Hot waxing is best, but rub on waxes will suffice. Do not use liquid waxes for storage purposes.

Remember to scrape off the excess wax before you ski next season.
