G3's Tips for Long Term Skin Storage

  • Michelle B
    2021-05-21 08:09:11
    As you finally come to terms with the fact that the ski season might be over, how you store your gear over the summer can help make everything last in the long run.  Taking care of your climbing skins can make or break a ski tour, and proper long term care in the off season is just as important.  Genuine Gear Guide’s University suggests a few tips and tricks for long term storage to help prolong the life of your skins:
     
    1. Use your skin savers
    2. Make sure they’re clean and folded up neatly
    3. Store them in a cool, dry place
    Check out the video and more info here and explore the other helpful videos about different scenarios for skin storage.

    Michelle B, Thanks for that. Luckily I found that I was doing the right things, especially with Covid19 making the storage a rather long time. Replys seem to be pretty rare on this forum so I thought I should add one.
    Thanks, Tim
