I don't think the sidewalls are bare wood. Mine seem to have a finish of some sort. I haven't had issues with mold on mine, but I live in a dry climate.
No to bleach and vinegar! Bleach is only used to remove staining, and vinegar doesn't work at all. I (unfortunately) used to work in the mold remediation industry. This is the only antimicrobial cleaner I recommend--it's very good:

The cleaning procedure would be to remove visible mold by vacuuming, then spray the the cleaner on till it wets the wood, then let it dry completely. The staining will remain. Probably not worth trying to remove the stains. The pros use a hydrogen peroxide based bleach to do it and it's very harsh.
In practicality it's very difficult to kill all the mold cells and spores. Mold is everywhere in the environment, so even if you clean the hell out of your sidewalls, the mold will come back if you don't change the way you're storing these.
Mold likes dark and moist, so try to eliminate one or both of those factors. Adding a water resistant finish would probably help, if the og finish is worn off.

I don’t believe there is any finish on those sidewalls. If you do oil them or wax them, it’ll keep water out, but any water that still gets in will have a harder time getting out. For that reason, I don’t think anything other than making sure they have a chance to fully dry from time to time is recommended.
^^ that sounds good when you say it. But like so many things that sound reasonable I don’t know how valid it really is. That’s just the prevailing wisdom from 4Frnt et al that I’ve been able to glean.
And I miss my wood sidewalls.focus.

Yeah, we never treated the sidewalls with anything for that reason. The first Rens are like ten years old now and I’ve never heard of any issues.

4FRNT Renegade ~ Hand built in SLC.
Been no real pow to speak of for a while and I got tired of looking at my 184cm Bear Rens.
Spent a day inbounds on them at Whistler today.
Duke PT 16s with the 125mm brake work awesome on these.
Found a few open spaces with untracked pow where I could let them run. So good. Also lapped Peak Chair which was soft bumps.
Such a great ski!

Curious if anyone has been in the REN’s and Hoji? I have been on the hoji’s and find them great in anything soft through groomers. Anything deeper than ankle I am finding the shovels wash out , so was thinking the REN’s would be great for days like that . Deeper days, Stash hunting etc ?
Thoughts?

Hit a nasty shark at full speed the other day.
Well better break the skis than the guy right ?
Anyway they still seem to ski fine, I'll just put the damaged edge on the outside.

Damn that’s impressive. I’ve smashed into all sorts of shit at speed on my white room skis and they’re not showing any damage like that!

Return of the owls. Sick! There's no way these are in the budget this year, but a man can dream.

Mustonen how are you liking your new shape maple renegade? I’ve given mine quite a bit of time and they just don’t have the magic of old. I’m wondering if the lighter layup actually fits the new construction and design better, The new 191 hoji is a blast in comparison

If I could A/B with a normal layup I’d probably have better feedback. They don’t have the same magic, but that’s so subjective and I can’t fully unwind how much of that is time and place and mystique.
I’m not sure how the hoji fits in next to the sender squads, but I might try to get on a pair at some point.focus.

Never got to ski the 184 Renegades last year, the binders were delayed in transit for 2 weeks due to the atmospheric river. And then it never snowed again after they were mounted. Finally had enough snow this past week and have skied the last 3 days. They are what I need, the right length, width and turn radius. It's pretty damn fun. Thanks again.
