Skis and boots in roof box
Will it harm my skis if I keep them in a bag in my roof box for a few
weeks? The edges are dry and it would be convenient to get them out of the house until the next trip but I am concerned that temperature changes will cause condensation which will rust the edges. Similarly for the boots (although they wouldn't rust, they might mold). Am I correct to be concerned about it or can I through my ski stuff back in the box and get it out of my way? |

Depends on how tight the box seals. If it seals well, don't open it. Any condensation will stay on the outside of the box then. Used to use this trick with expensive cameras and lenses when I had them out in the cold. Put them in a plastic bag before bringing them into the house and let them warm up that way. All of the condensation would form in the bag leaving the camera dry. -- Chuck Remove "_nospam" to reply by email |
