Five things to do before skiing

Well skiing season will be here soon and most skiers will make the classic mistake!
What is this mistake?

90% of skiers wait till first snow storm or 24 hours before that trip to St. Anton, then they will take out skis, boots from closet, put in ski bags and discover at ski resort that;
-edges are rusty
-bindings do not fit those new boots
-zippers are stuck
-old apple has rotten in pockets
-used gum is stuck in pocket
-boots hurt.

You get message!

Here are the five things you should do now, before the snow falls and before that ski trip!

1.Place a drop of 3in1 oil ( oil used for sewing machines ie light grade oil) on all boot buckles and binding articulated parts.

2. Check all ( all means the ones hidden also) binding screws to see if tight.
Check all boots screws to see if tight

3. Take bar of soap ( yes bar of soap) and rub on all zippers. If you like,,, spray lubricant ( WD40) will do also.

4. Clean all ski jackets and pants and spray 3M waterproofing! Do this outside since fumes are TOXIC !!!

5. Take out boot liners from boot shell! Dry it well once you have cleaned them!
Look carefully at liner where all shell rivets, screws and clips rub against linner. If it is torn ( 90% are torn after one year of use), place duct tape on area! Look very carefully at rear portion of liner where flex adjustmnet screws are! Put at least three layers of duct tape in this area!

Now you are ready to go on ski trip!!!!
Enjoy while your friends are at the shop getting equipment fixed!

And get fit - your equipment can be in tip top shape but if you are not then good luck!!
