We're all anxious to find that first chairlift running or enough snow to use the skinny skis. Your body should be in shape, or at least close to it. Your equipment should also be in good shape. Your equipment should be out of moth balls and primed for the first run. Just because you had your skis waxed at the end of the season last year does not mean they're ready to go this year. The storage wax has, I'm sure, a pretty good layer of dust. So take off that wax and replace it with a fresh layer. But before you do rewax . those skis, take a look at the base and the edges. Check the bases for gouges and scratches. If there are any, get yourself a P-tex candle of the appropriate color and fill in the holes and scratches. scrat-ches. If the edges are pitted or rusty, you will have to flat file or edge file the edges to remove the rust. Rust on an edge will make a ski slower and harder har-der to turn ; it creates more drag. The next step is to take your boots and skis to your ski shop. Have the shop release-check the binding. The release-check will do two things. It will evaluate the conditions of your bindings. Then, assuming the " binding is in skiable con- , dition, the ski shop will then be able to adjust the release tension for your ability. The reason that I recommend a shop released check your bindings is that, with a release-check machine, the dealer can notice erratic release or a release curve that is irregular. The dealer then can correct the problem. Bindings that have been stored over the summer sum-mer should be cleaned to remove any dust or any other potentially abrasive materials, such as salts or road grit. If you bought new boots, make sure your bindings bin-dings have been adjusted to them. The size of the new boots' soles could differ from the same size boot of last year. Even if the soles are the same length, the sole thickness could be different. Those of you that have rock skis should remember that those bindings should be checked. I realize that you do not care to spend too much money on those rockies, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If the bindings on your rock skis are questionable, you might consider taking the bindings bin-dings from your good skis and mount them onto the rock skis. You will not harm your good skis by removing and replacing the bindings if done once. If you do remove them more than once, you could enlarge the mounting holes. You should hot remove any binding from a honey-comb core ski. The reason for this is that a honey-comb ski needs to have an epoxy plug to hold the screw. When the screw is removed the epoxy plug could shatter. . 1 1 If you have any doubts on what to do. please go to a ski shop. Don't guess ! Congratulations to Bob and Mary Bailey on their new baby girl. 1 |
