I’ve been using Kuzmin steel scraping for several years now, and I have to say—I’m never going back to traditional ski waxing. It’s simple, effective, and best of all, it keeps my skis gliding beautifully without the hassle of wax.

One thing people often ask me is whether scraping wears out the skis. Yes, you do remove a tiny layer of the base each time you scrape, but in my experience, it’s not something to worry about. My skis have held up perfectly fine over the years.
The most important thing I’ve learned is that to get great glide, your ski base needs to be completely clean. And nothing gets them cleaner than a round of steel scraping. It removes dirt, oxidation, and any residue that could slow you down. Once you’ve scraped and brushed your skis, they’re ready to go—no wax, no mess, just pure glide.
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and effective way to prepare your skis, I highly recommend giving Kuzmin steel scraping a try. It might take a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, you won’t look back!
After steelscraping, it is wise to give your skies a good brushing.
