In order to maintain optimal performance, your Skinbased skis will require occasional care. There are two areas in particular that need special attention: the Unicoat base and the climbing skin.If you notice a decrease in glide performance, apply the appropriate Skinbased quick wax. These waxes can be applied indoors or outdoors, and even during a short break in your ski day.Note: under no circumstance should hot waxes and irons be used, as these can permanently damage the ski!Similarly, after much use, you may find the climbing skin beginning to absorb water or having a buildup of ice. We recommend Skinbased Calming Skin Wax for treatment.You can find even more maintenance tips on our blog: How to properly feed and care for your Skinbased skis.
