End of season ski and boot maintenance.

Pull your boots apart. including the insole in the liner. Make sure everything is thoroughly dry. Spray the shells, the inside and outside of the liners, and the insoles lightly with Lysol.

Reassemble when dry. Buckle tightly. Don't store your ski equipment in a damp basement or garage.

Before the start of next season, take your equipment into a shop and have the bindings checked and reset.

It's not too early to begin praying for snow.
