Step 7Check for clues of improper storage

Put the tails of both skis on the floor, and hold the tip. Flex the ski by pushing in the middle, and see whether both feel similar. Listen for crackling sounds, which indicate a ski that's been stored in too warm an area and has materials that have dried out inside. That ski will not last as long as one that has been stored properly
