How long does grease-pencil writing stay on the AvySticker?
Days, if not rubbed by gear/a ski strap. Powder and wet spring snow don't seem to remove the writing even on a weekend tour.
How easy is it to erase the AvySticker?
See our videos for an example. It's fairly easy to erase with fingertip rubbing and very easy to erase with a dry paper towel or cloth.
How hard is it to remove the AvySticker from my ski?
Despite our best efforts, we haven't yet been able to find a sticker so tenacious that it cannot be removed. Your experience may vary, but we've been able to intentionally remove even the stickiest stickers from our test skis after a few months on the ski. Use a fingernail or other implement to lift an edge, then peel the sticker off the ski.
Is there a wrong way to use the AvySticker?
Yes. The AvySticker is not prescriptive. It is not intended to tell you what to do or where to go. It is a tool designed to help you stick to plans that you have made by reminding you of terrain that you want to avoid. The checklists are the same; acknowledging each point with your partners is not sufficient to protect you from harm. Your safety is up to you.
How durable is the AvySticker?
