I didn't know it damaged skis either, taking them off like that. I'm sure I've seen ski instructors doing it, and my daughter always does it in our group ski lessons and no-one's told her off yet (or made her stand on the naughty step). I use a ski stick myself, but it's just because I find that easier.

Ian - do you think it could be moths, or perhaps you've been welding wearing your sallos? :lol:

The cheap sallos I got from TKMax for £30 seem to be fine. I can't see the point of spending loads of money on them.

Only moths here are the ones in my wallet :wink:

It does not wreck them but can cause damage to the bases ...... The idea Emma is to have a smooth base e.g. minimal scratches to cut down on friction underneath the ski, which then lets you ski a bit quicker.
I wouldn't worry too much there will be loads of pep's on here who do a similar thing thinking it's cool.

I think it looks very uncool. Like shouting to world, "I'm not a serious skier". It's just one step above the kids that walk across the car park with their skis on, or maybe you do that too :wink:
because I'm so inclined .....

I've scoured the dark depths of my mind and am pretty sure I've never walked across a car park in my skis :wink:

This is going from bad to worse! I've upset Alistair, Ian has won the debate (I'm still gonna be right about the resort snow) now you too Trencher! :shock:

Right ok I'll never undo my bindings with my ski again. But I need a substitute that my OH can't do instead. Come on help me out he's whipping my butt... just one little thing...

I wish I could meet the person who first decided to strap 2 planks to their feet and throw themselves down a mountain
