What types of skis are available and how do I choose the right one?

There are various types of skis, including all-mountain, piste, powder, freeride, freestyle, and touring skis. The right choice depends on your skill level, preferred terrain, and skiing style. Beginners often start with all-mountain or piste skis, while advanced skiers may select specialised models for specific conditions or activities.

How often should skis be serviced or tuned?

It’s recommended to give your skis a full service at the start of each ski season, including checking bindings, bases, and sharpening edges. More frequent tuning may be needed depending on use and snow conditions. Regular maintenance preserves performance and extends ski life.

How do I maintain my skis during the season?

After each ski day, wipe down your skis to remove dirt and moisture, especially from the edges and bases, to prevent corrosion. Regularly check for damage, keep edges sharp, and re-wax as needed to maintain glide and protect the bases.

How long do skis typically last?

With proper care, skis can last several seasons. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, terrain, and how well they’re maintained. Regular cleaning, waxing, and professional servicing help maximize their durability and performance over time.
