fluoros and storage

    I have a pair of skis left from the last event of the season prepped with pure fluoro, which were not used. For the summer, clean and cover with soft wax as usual? Or, leave them sit over the summer as is and try to save an expensive wax job?
    What's the consensus?
    Thanks

    If your skis are waxed and brushed, then they need to be skied on in a few days or else they will start to oxidize.

    If you have put on high fluoro wax but not scraped it, then you can probably just put the skis into storage (though a soft wax, like Swix HF 8 or Toko HF Yellow might not stay in place well all summer).

    If you have ironed in pure fluoros (Cera F, JetStream, etc) and have not brushed, then you can let the skis sit for a couple weeks to a month before brushing them and skiing on them. But I wouldn't recommend waiting all summer.

    Depending on where you live and what the snow looks like, it might be best to just go out and have really fast skis for your last day on snow!
