Storage For The Off Season

Get a Head Start on the Next Winter Season

Be sure to clean your ski and snowboard gear before putting it away for the season. Chances are you will have some time this spring before your first big summer adventure. Waiting until next season may result in spending more time and money in cleaning. Giving everything a good wash before storage will prevent having to scrub engrained dirt from equipment later. Remember to use a soft cloth to prevent damage.

Store Equipment Properly

Once everything is cleaned properly, it’s a good idea to keep equipment in a large storage container or two. Plastic tubs work best for this, however if those are not available large cardboard boxes will work as well. This will prevent small bugs and any other small pesky rodents from damaging your equipment.

Storage Location

If you live in a house or apartment with excess space, this can be stored in a dry, cool place. Areas with climate-control are best. Avoid too much heat and if equipment is kept outside keep a tarp overtop to keep it dry.

Your equipment can be expensive, make sure you take the best possible care of it that you can. If these simple steps are followed, your snow gear will be ready for the first snowfall next season.
