How to Prepare Skis for Storage in a Storage Unit

You can prepare skis for storage by taking the following winterization steps before putting them in ski and snowboard storage:

• Clean skis and bindings to remove dirt and salt.

• Check ski edges for rust and use a gummy stone to remove.

• Dry skis completely.

• Apply a layer of all-temperature storage wax to the base and edges of the skis.

• Loosen binding springs to release tension.

• Secure the skis together with ski straps.

Store skis in winter gear storage by laying them in a cool, dark part of your storage unit vertically or laid completely flat. When renting self storage for winter gear, it's also a good idea to choose features like climate control and indoor access.
