| I fill in the gouges on the base, structure, de-burr then file the edges, slap a thick coat of soft wax on the bases and edges, put on the straps, turn down the bindings then store them in my bedroom beside the door. It may be a bit over the top for some but I like taking care of my stuff. In the fall, I scrape of the wax, turn up the bindings and wait for the snow to fly.
