Wow, great site. I didn't even know half the stuff on there and I've been skiing for years. Well, I guess this is a good time to start doing what I should. Thanks for the site.

Hmmm, luckily I still am renting my equipment.

How much does it cost to maintain your ski equipment? After my next ski holiday I was considering buying my own but would obviously like to know all costs involved.

That is a really good point and that is why I rent either for the day or for the season becasue then I do not have to take care of the skis and they are always in good shape.

Here is another good website for tuning instruction. There is a pdf file you can download and print. I printed it out and keep a copy around just in case I need some info. They also sell wax and tuning equipment. Very good stuff too.

With a little tlc your ski's will ski noticeably better. Even just regular waxing helps.

At least get your skis sharpened.
If you don't have good wax, you won't glide as well.
But with bad edges, you will fail on icy spots :-)
