How to Put Storage Wax on Your Skis

It's that time of year... when you have to start to think about putting your skis away for the summer. We know, pretty tragic! But we think that to be grateful for how much joy our skis bring us, putting storage wax on your skis for the off-season is a great way to make the most of your ski's lives. 

1. Clean Your Base! 
Classic 
Apply base cleaner with a fiberlene cloth and thoroughly clean to get all the glidewax off the tip and tail. For fish-scale skis, clean them with the same method as the tip and tail to clean all the dirt that may have built up over the season. For waxless skis, scrape off the Klister using wax remover and a cloth to take the stickiness off. You will not be applying glidewax on the kickzone for your classic skis. 
Skate 
Apply base cleaner with the fiberlene cloth over the entire ski, removing any dirt, particles and old wax that may have built up over the year. 

2. Apply the Wax 
The ideal way to apply storage wax, is to use the hot iron to use a warm hot wax all over the ski. Melt your wax over the ski (only the tip and tail for classic skis) at the correct temperature. Then, take your iron over the glidewax and wait until it hardens. You are almost there! 
3. Store in a Safe Place 
There is no need to scrape the glidewax, as this will serve as the protection for your skis while in storage. Either vertically or horizontally, make sure the skis are nice and cozy until you can take them out again. 

If you are interested in doing this process this season, we have all the gear necessary to get your skis nice and protected at Access Callaghan! As a bonus, if you are a seasons pass holder, you can receive 25% off Swix Wax in our store.
