Skis are an important investment for every skier. Whether you ski a few times a year or are out on the snow every free minute, you want your skis to stay in the best possible condition.
However, damage often does not happen just while skiing on a groomed ski slope. Scratches, impacts, and damage can occur during transport, in the parking lot, when loading into the car or onto the roof rack, at ski racks, and even during storage.
5 most common situations in which skis are damaged
1. Dragging skis over stones and concrete
When you come from the ski resort, it is often easiest to simply drag your skis behind you. But asphalt, concrete, stones, and other hard materials can quickly cause scratches and damage.
A minor scratch may seem insignificant, but damage can accumulate over time.
2. Ski racks and metal edges
On ski racks, skis can rub against each other or come into contact with metal parts.
When the rack is full, space is limited, so even one careless movement can cause a new scratch.
3. Loading and unloading the car
Transporting skis is one of the most common times when damage occurs.
Skis can hit the edge of the car, the ground, or other equipment. When loading multiple pieces of equipment, the risk increases even further.
4. Stones, dirt, and bare sections
Skiing on natural snow or late in the season often means more rocks, dirt, and other impurities.
Even short sections with insufficient snow can cause unnecessary wear and tear on skis.
5. Friction of skis against other equipment
When skis are in the car, trunk, or storage area with other pieces of equipment, rubbing can occur.
Skis can be damaged even when you are not using them.
Why is prevention important?
Ski repairs and servicing can be more expensive than you expect. In addition to the cost, damage also affects the appearance and long-term preservation of the equipment.
That is why it makes sense to think about protection even before the first injury.
