Checking your Ski Equipment now is very important for many reasons but 3 top reasons are

1. I get asked all the time ‘Why should I check my Ski Equipment, as I am not a good skier and spending lots of time on the beginner slopes with kids…” I always say try these- once you try new skis you are on cloud nine. Technology advancements, ski shape, size are some of the many reasons the new skis really do make a difference. You owe it to yourself as it will enhance your skiing skills, make skiing easier and give you more control on the slopes

2. Pair of Skis in the garage- should I use them…..Key here is check the bindings- visit your local ski shop and if you live in Calgary there are Sport Chek locations everywhere to have a pro look at the bindings to make sure they still are in good shape and meet current binding standards

3. Condition of the bases and edges of your skis- now I don’t get my skis tuned all that regularly as I ski mostly in soft, powder snow. But if you are visiting ski resorts that have hard snow or icy conditions regularly then you should get your skis tuned more often
