It's that time of year - time for our huge demo ski sale! While some demo skis are glorified rental skis that go out everyday and get bashed around, our demo skis are for people trying to pick out the right ski to buy.

As ski season winds down and you move onto other activities - mountain biking, stand up paddle boarding - whatever you enjoy in the summer - there's one last step you should take before forgetting about your skis.

A storage wax job for your skis is a critical step many people skip that will keep your ski bases in much better shape for next season. It's quick and easy, and it'll save you time and money next season, not to mention keep up the performance of your skis.

Welcome to our Tahoe Ski News blog - the ski season may be wrapping up but the deals are just getting started.

Send your race, ski event or results to website@starthaus.com. with the headline: Tahoe Ski News to get them listed here each week.

Racers, start your savings! Our race skis are deeply discounted, so whether you're heading to Mt. Hood, South America or just have a podium in your sites for next season, now is the time to buy. Why pay more next year for the best race skis from Atomic, Blizzard, Head, Fischer, Rossignol and Volkl?

As we've mentioned elsewhere in our 2014 ski reviews, the 100 to 110 mm wide segment of skis is going to be big next year. We've already reviewed the Nordica Vagabond and the Rossignol Soul 7.

But one of the skis in this class we're most excited about comes from a brand we haven't carried in the past - the Stockli Stormrider 107. The top pick for many of our testers in this group, the Stockli SR 107 is a departure for Stockli, and an impressive ski for soft-snow oriented all mountain skiers.

“All I wrote on my testing card was ‘wow!’” said Kenzie, one of our expert testers who participated in Powder Magazine's Powder Week at Jackson Hole.
