Prepare equipment now
Don't let the snow catch you unawares. Prepare
)Your equipment now, in time for the first snowfall'.
These simple and quick preparations can help you.
Wooden skis - If you haven't already done so (and
it's advisable to do so at the end of each ski season)
remove old wax from the skis with the aid of a torch or
spray wax -remover and a rag.
Should your wooden skis be new, sandpaper off the
layer of dark sealer used by manufacturers to protect
the ski base during transport and storage. Once you've
removed the factory coating, apply a thin layer of pine
tar to seal the wooden fibres against excessive
moisture. Then carefully heat the tar with a torch, so
that it bubbles. Clean off the excess with a rag and
heat. Pine tar will also protect the base against ex-
cessive wear by ice and improve wax adhesion.
Synthetic skis - Remove old wax if necessary. Check
for gouges and repair with synthetic materials
available from your local ski shop. Epoxy glues are
handy for any scratches or cracks along the
laminates.
Bindings - Check for loose binding screws, bent or
cracked bails or bent sidewalls. Replace or straighten
bails or bindings if required. Add epoxy glue to loose
screws holding bindings to synthetic skis. This vir-
tually guarantees that your harnesses will not come
out of your skis.
Poles - check for splits in your Tonkin (bamboo)
pole shafts. If present, repair by wrapping plastic
electrician's tape around ;Che split area. This will
strengthen the shaft and prolong the pole's life.
File pole tips which have become dull through
previous use. Replace very dull or broken tips and
broken baskets. Non-adjustable straps can be made
adjustable by using electrician's tape to mould the
strap to hand or glove size.
Boots - replace worn or broken laces. Clean wax and
dirt off leather or synthetic uppers. Don't use grease
or oil on boots. Check sole stitching and sole holes used
to accept binding pins. These holes tend to spread
after a couple of seasons. This may necessitate the
purchasing of a new pair of boots.
Packsacks - If your packsack shows signs of wear
and tear, either repair it or replace it. In the latter
case, ensure that the pack is light -weight, sturdy and
water repellant. If framed, the pack should allow air
to move between pack and back, limiting the amount
of perspiration and moisture build-up associated with
non -framed packs.
Include in your sack: plastic bags, spare screws, a
screw driver, ski tip, waterproof match container, all-
purpose knife set, wax and some freeze dried foods.
With these preparations done, you're ready for the
first tour.
