SNØXIS is born out of our passion for the mountains and the knowledge we’ve gained over decades in the winter sports industry. Whether as shop owners, salespeople, purchasers, ski instructors or coaches, we have worked closely with manufacturers and customers. We have held so many products in our hands.

- Shred the slopes, not your stuff: How to properly care for your winter sports gear
Winter sports enthusiasts know: The right gear is everything! Keep your skis, snowboards, touring skis, boots and apparel in top shape and ready to perform all season: Here are the best care tips – short and snappy. Skis, snowboards & touring skis: Wax on, fun on! Cleaning : After each use, wipe off dirt, snow and maybe even salt with a dry cloth. Warm water works for stubborn grime, but make sure to dry your edges carefully. Edges and base : Sharp edges ensure grip. Keep the base waxed for a smooth ride. Learn how to wax your gear yourself or get some help in a sports shop and you're good to go! Summer storage : Store your gear in a dry place, release the bindings, and protect the base with storage wax. Boots: Keep them fresh and dry Drying : Take out the liners after each day on the slope or in the backcountry and let them air dry. Boot dryers are a great option. Care : Keep the exterior clean by brushing off dirt with water. Storage : Store in a dry, ventilated place – never while damp. Functional clothing: Wash gently and take good care Washing : Wash functional clothing with special detergent, but fabric softener is a no-go. Use a gentle cycle and low temperatures. Re-waterproofing : For your waterproof hard shell, reapply water-repellent treatments after a few washes. Sprays or wash-in treatments work best. Drying : Air-dry whenever possible. If allowed, a tumble dry on low can reactivate waterproofing. Merino clothing: Less washing, more airing out Air out your merino pieces instead of washing them – merino wool stays fresh for longer. When necessary, use the gentle cycle with wool detergent. Drying : Lay flat to dry; avoid the dryer. Protection : Store clean and dry, ideally with moth protection. Goggles: Keep your vision clear Cleaning : Only use a microfiber cloth to clean the glasses, never gloves or tissues. For tough spots, we recommend water. Storage : Always store goggles in a case to prevent scratches, and never leave them wet or loose in your bag. Helmet: Protect the protector Cleaning : You can clean the outside of your helmet with a damp cloth. Often, it's possible to wash the padding. Check : Your helmet must always be in perfect condition. Any cracks or hard impacts? Better get a new one. Storage : Keep your helmet in a dry, shaded place – helmets don’t like UV rays. Wrap-up Proper care of your gear and apparel is the key to fun and safety on the slopes. With just a little effort, you’ll start every season fully prepped and have fun with your equipment and apparel a long time. Take care and have fun!

- How to get ready for Skibörse: 10 tips for a smooth shopping experience
Heading to one of our Skibörse events is an exciting way to gear up for your ski, snowboard or touring season without breaking the bank. To make sure you leave with exactly what you need, a little prep goes a long way. Here are ten simple tips to ensure your Skibörse experience is a full success. 1. Set a budget before you go It’s easy to get caught up in all the great deals, but setting a budget before you go will help you choose your perfect skis or board. Maybe you go for a cheaper second-hand ski and still have budget for new merino base layers, a pair of warm gloves or any other thing you need. 2. Visit outside of rush hours Avoid the crowd by visiting during off-peak times. This way, you’ll have more time to browse, try on gear, and make thoughtful decisions without feeling rushed. Plus: Our staff will have more time to give you advice. However, if you are looking for the maximum selection, you should visit the Skibörse on the (usually busy) first day. 3. Chat with our staff for expert advice Don’t hesitate to ask our staff for advice: They will recommend the best gear for your level, or help you make sure the skis, boots, or apparel you’re considering are the right fit for your needs. Again, it's best to visit outside rush hours. 4. Bring a friend for a second opinion A trusted friend can be a lifesaver when deciding on the perfect fit or style. Plus, they’ll help you stay objective while navigating all the tempting deals. And: the more the merrier. 5. Looking for goggles? Bring your helmet! Goggles need to fit snugly with your helmet, so don’t forget to bring it along! A proper fit ensures no gaps for wind or snow, giving you maximum comfort on the slopes. Try the goggles on with your helmet to make sure everything aligns perfectly. 6. Shopping for apparel? Bring a piece to match! Want your new jacket or ski pants to pair well with what you already own? Bring along an existing item for easy color and fit comparison. It’ll save you from mismatches and ensure a coordinated, stylish look on the slopes. 7. Buying skis? Know your boot size! Bindings need to be adjusted to fit your boots, so make sure you know your boot size (in mm) or bring your boots along. This guarantees that your new skis will be set up for safety and performance right from the start. 8. Wear easy-to-slip-in-and-out clothing Since you’ll likely be trying on different jackets, pants and boots, wear something comfortable and easy to slip in and out of, like leggings or a light shirt. This will speed up the process and make trying things on hassle-free. 9. Bring a backpack or large bag You might end up buying more than you anticipated! ;-) Bringing a backpack or large tote will help you easily carry around the items you’re purchasing. 10. Cash or card? Our Skibörse events accept both cash and card payments. If you’re planning on using a card, ensure your spending limit is high enough to cover the gear you’re eyeing. With these tips, you're now equipped to navigate the Skibörse like a pro! Happy shopping and good luck finding exactly what you wish for!

- The art of layering - or how to dress for skiing, snowboarding, ski touring and winter hiking
When you're heading out for an active winter day, the right clothing is key to staying warm, dry, and comfortable—whether you're hitting the slopes, exploring the backcountry on a ski tour or trekking through snowy trails. The secret? Mastering the art of layering. Layering is the perfect strategy for balancing warmth with breathability - and it’s budget-friendly too. With just a few essential pieces (get one of each layer, maybe a couple of base and mid-layers), you can mix and match to suit any condition. The game plan: layer up like a pro 1. Base layer: the foundation for comfort Your base layer is the foundation of your outfit, responsible for managing moisture. Choose a fabric like merino wool or a high-performance synthetic that wicks sweat away from your skin. This helps keep you dry and prevents that uncomfortable, clammy feeling. Remember, cotton is a no-go—it traps moisture and will leave you feeling cold. 2. Mid layer: your insulating hero Next comes the mid layer, which provides crucial insulation. It traps your body heat while letting moisture escape, keeping you warm without overheating. A fleece jacket or an insulated synthetic down layer works wonders here. For high-energy activities like ski touring, go for a lightweight fleece. For colder, less active days on the slopes, a thicker option is your best bet. 3. Outer layer: your shield against the elements The outer layer is all about protection. Choose a jacket and pants that are waterproof and windproof to shield yourself from snow, wind, and rain. Look for materials like Gore-Tex that offer breathability while keeping out the elements. If you're ski touring, a shell jacket with ventilation zippers is a great choice to help regulate your temperature during intense climbs. Of course, you can also choose warm jackets for maximum comfort on cold days on the slope or in the city. Accessories: the finishing touches Accessories can make or break your comfort level, so don’t skip them. A good pair of waterproof gloves or mittens, a warm hat, and a neck gaiter or balaclava keep your extremities protected from the cold. For skiing and snowboarding, goggles are a must to protect your eyes from snow and glare. If you’re winter hiking, a good pair of sunglasses might do the trick. And of course, helmets are highly recommended for safety on the slopes and in the backcountry. Boots: finding the perfect fit The right boots can make all the difference in skiing, ski touring and snowboarding. Make sure they fit well, provide adequate support, and offer good insulation.
