If you are getting ready for your Spring snowboard trip I have 3 things to say:

1. The prices can't get any lower at our End-of-Season-SALE. See Sale 
2. Here is a packing list to help you get ready. See Packing List 
3. Have a Great Time!!... and read the rest of this newsletter when you get back. 

1)     Snowboards should be tuned BEFORE storing for the summer. This way your bases are clean and waxed for the absolute best protection from the summer humidity.

2)     Store your snowboard standing upright in a rack in a dry area. DO NOT store skis or boards hanging from their tips in a rack over the summer. This can harm them. Basements are fine if a dehumidifier is present or basement is dry.   

See Ski/snowboard Racks 

3)     Bindings should be cleaned of all dirt, salt and grime with water.  Board bindings should be stored in the buckled position.
DO NOT REDUCE the tension on ski bindings.

4)     Boots should be cleaned thoroughly and liners should be completely dry. Then store your boots with soles flat on a shelf or floor. Buckles should be buckled and laces should be laced. A loose fitting plastic grocery bag can be put over your boots to keep out dust.

5)     NEVER store your gear in a ski or boot bag! Bags are designed to keep out moisture when transporting. But they also keep in moisture when storing. This allows edges to rust and boots to mildew

 

Follow these guidelines and you will get extra years and better performance from your equipment.  Read more storage tips
