christ you people are stupid, just clean the dirt off and then wax them and dont scrape it off for the summer it will keep your bases from drying out.

ok if you really wanna be kind to your skis:
*hot scrape, it cleans the bases
*wax em let em sit for 3 hrs then scrape em again
do this like 2-3X... hot scrapin cleans the
bases but also removes the wax, so ya need to
put it back into the bases. Wax = speed
*put a nice coat on for the summer so they don't
dry out.

yes i know it sounds like alot of work but you'll thank yourself next season when you have to traverse on a cat track and you're crusin and your friends are skating and goin nowhere

If you mean that there is mud and shit on them then wash them with some water and mild detergent, then hot-scrape as was said above.

a hot scrape's where you hot wax your skis..and scrape it off before it's soaked into the pores and totally cooled..
it pulls the dirt out of the ski..

don't use base cleaners?

Huh?

Anything orange based works the best. Citrus Solvent from Swix is one of the better ski specific products for the job. Just make sure to wax them properly after you clean them.
