DIY

Working on your own ski equipment often makes you look forward to spending hours in the snow. With the right tools, DIY is even more fun and much more successful. The POZI 3 screwdriver is not just one of many suitable tools for ski adjustment and assembly. It is THE screwdriver for the ski workshop and therefore our Gear of the Week.

Who hasn't always wanted to shape their own board? Your own pro model, so to speak! Exactly the shape you've always wanted for your board? The CLARK from YES Snowboards makes it possible! All you need is an idea and a jigsaw!

Skiing usually also means that you have skis with you. Depending on how you get to the desired starting point, you have to pack the skis in, on or behind the car.

Which snow fan and sliding timber enthusiast hasn't asked themselves what should happen to all these precious pieces and how they can be put to good use for posterity?

The conditions are not exactly Christmassy at the moment. No snow means that it's also time for contemplative activities such as baking cookies and fitting ski boots. In both cases, the essential utensil is the oven and that's why it's our Gear of the Week!

What skier doesn't dream of owning a ski that they have built and designed themselves? From the base to the length, waist, stiffness and design - everything is tailored to your own wishes. DREAMY! A small Bavarian company is now turning this dream into reality: at Build2Ride in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, you can build your own (winter) sports equipment as part of a two-day workshop with a little bit of manual skill. Of course, we didn't want to miss out on this and paid the guys in Garmisch a visit.

The same thing every season? You probably carry your skis or snowboards out of the dark cellar into the daylight full of anticipation. Oh dear: the edges are slightly rusty and the base is showing light spots. Here and there, deep gashes even reach into the core of your treasure. In order to prepare it for the demands of a wide range of conditions, i.e. to make the boards optimally rideable, only one thing helps: spit in your hands and get to work!
