How to tune your skis for summer storage

Winter is coming to an end here in the Northern hemisphere. It is time to put away the ski gear and pull the bike out for summer time. One last chore to knock out before forgetting about your ski gear for the next 6 months is storage preparation.
In this video we'll go through what the different levels of work your skis and boards might require.
What can be done at home on your own gear.
The process I go through on my skis before summer as well as the tools you'll need.

Tool list:
-Iron - Doesn't have to be expensive (a thrift store find iron does the job too). The nicer irons are more precise and give you more exact temperatures to match to different waxes. The temperature you should run the iron at is listed on your wax box standard for all major brands

Diamond Stone - 200-400 grit

File guide and clamp for more precision. Most tunes are 2 degrees (88). Some more aggressive race tunes will be 3 degrees (87)

Base cleaner or Isopropyl alcohol.
