How to Protect a Signature

Hey guys,
Last year I won a contest, and got some skis signed by Jossi Wells. I didn't use them last year because I didn't want to buy bindings, but this year they are ready to go, and I'm heading to Keystone and Breck tomorrow (I live in Michigan) I was wondering what to put over it to protect it, so the signature doesn't just wash off. Thanks.

IDK. ideally you'd hang them on your wall and buy beater skis to ride.

I actually thought that would work too. Clear nail polish should work, I used it on a longboard. Nail polish REMOVER on the other hand...

If you really are that worries about saving the signature don't even ski on them. Even with something that works well to protect the signature it will eventually chip off while you are skiing.

I didn't use Nail Polish Remover guys, I used clear nail polish, and its a Sharpie Marker. I only put on a little bit to see if it would work, and it made it rub off.
