How to prepare ski and snowboard equipment
For many of us, the winter sports season is fast approaching. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to prepare ski and snowboard equipment for some fun in the snow. Taking care of your ski and snowboard gear, your ice skates or any of your winter sports equipment, will help it perform better and last longer.

Step 1
Preparation pays dividends
You’ll be amazed at how far removing burrs, cleaning edges and using a little wax will go in giving you a better experience on the slopes. Outside magazine has a great article on how to prepare ski equipment and snowboarding gear for the winter season.
Step 2
Better safe than sorry
Ensuring your bindings are clean is not just a good idea, it’s also important for your safety on the slopes. Clean your skis and board with a wet washcloth and look for problems like peeling or cracks. Major damage should be inspected by a ski shop. A light coating of WD-40® Multi-Use Product on your ski bindings can help prevent them from rusting. As a bonus, it also helps make snow slide right off!
Step 3
Provide the power
Make sure your transceivers, walkie-talkies, or other snow sport electronics have new batteries in them. Something so simple can literally be a lifesaver in case of harsh weather conditions or an emergency.
Good to go
Now your ski and snowboarding gear is ready, you can make the most of your day or trip!
