 Poster: A snowHead

vetski, it won't be long before you have your own little ski tuning area. Damned addictive and even after a couple of tries you can see the difference to simply handing your skis over to a shop for a standard service. When they are your own pride and joy... you take damned good care of them.

spyderjon, Is there any benefit of adopting the same approach as Scarpa, and the dryslope racers do of combining ZN with your normal wax when skiing on snow?
I'm thinking if you know in advance that the only 'top up' you will have during a week's skiing is a wipe over with ZN every day or so, will you see any real benefit of combining ZN with your normal waxing routine (prior to skiing) or is it marginal compared to a wipe over after waxing? I appreciate that in one instance the ZN is 'impregnated' into the bases with your wax and the other it 'sits on top' of the wax, but is it really 6 and two 3s for say a week on the snow?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sleipnir, The mixing of ZN in with hard wax for dryslope racing really does work & it's no extra effort to do. I also think it makes the surplus hard wax a bit easier to scrape off.
On pucka snow the best method is multiple waxings/brushings which is what I do so I hardly ever use ZN. It's easy for me though as if I'm running my hotbox for a customer I can just lob my skis in at the same time. Mixing in the ZN with the wax is a good idea if you're only going to do one wax application - it certainly can't do any harm.

Sleipnir, Thanks for that. I use the PolarX on his skis normally as he usually only skis on the dryslope but he has a few sessions booked at Xscape this season. Good to know I don't have to rush out and get anything different.

ickabodblue, The 'white sand' in snowdomes is very aggressive on bases so PolarX is good however if you're racing in the domes I'd go with a good uni wax (ie Dominator Lime or Holmenkol Uni) with a ZN overlay to get some waft up out of the start.
Sleipnir, I use Dom Lime at Castleford but then I wax regularly anyway. If I was doing a lot of snowdome skiing I'd use PolarX for better durability.

spyderjon, I get two seasons out of each tub of Zardoz... average 21 applications. So I'm afraid that I won't be ordering again until late 2009. Best cancel the yacht

If it saves anyone some time I spent a lot of time searching the web looking for the best deal on a Zardoz pocket puck early last year. At that time (don't know since), there was no-where that was cheaper to get it from inc. postage than from Spyderjon's web site as posted above.
Believe it or not, i bought a puck for 7-99 at snow and rock!!!

You know it makes sense.

spyderjon, I just checked out your website-very informative. Whilst i was at my local store this week i noticed a brand of servicing equipment called sidecut that was substantially higher priced than the other brand in stock(toko). Do you have any thoughts or opinions on this brand?
