Maintenance Tips

• Wax the sintered base regularly to maintain glide, reduce friction, and protect against drying and oxidation.
• Keep edges sharp and clean for consistent grip on hardpack, icy descents, and variable backcountry snow.
• Dry skis thoroughly after each tour—especially edges and binding zones—to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Inspect binding mounts and hardware frequently; retighten screws if any loosening is detected after long or rough use.
• Repair base scratches and core shots promptly with P-Tex to preserve performance and structural integrity.
• Remove snow and ice buildup from topsheet and bindings after use to reduce weight and moisture retention.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight (vehicles, storage rooms), which can affect camber and base materials.
• Apply a full storage wax before off-season and store in a cool, dry place.
