Is there any problem with leaving skins on my skis until next time i go skiing? Could be a week or two until we have more snow. I'm kinda new to skinning.
Will the glue become a problem?

I heard of skin glue sticking to the skis in hot weather , I take them off to dry
Usually you skin up and then ski down without skins. Why would your skins be on the skis at the end of the day? You should let them dry.
tech talk bitch!!!!!
Yes, it's not good.

Not a clear answer so far then (to the original question)? Not a big deal, i'll just take them off. Still curious though.
I store ski's with skins on. It is not a problem with glue or otherwise. Makes it less likely that skins will be forgotten, or misplaced.
Hmm, that's helpful experience, thanks.
I have left them on my skis with skins on in the roof box so they are ready to go. No ill effects. After a while, the skins will unstick. Only negative effect I could see is if you let them get too hot... and of course it'll stretch the skins out a bit (not a problem when using STS).
ive had skis shipped to me skins on and cursed dude le ski bum for hours trying to get all teh glue off.
what a fucking mess.
If its cold, then its not a problem. If htye get left in a warm environment, you'll be cleaning glue off, which is a real PITA.
what about when you ski from your car and skin back to it? not unheard of. or skin up ski down and then skin half way back up to your car, done that before.Quote:
