Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hello All
Going on an off piste week in Leysin in 10 days, and I'm getting my kit in order. It's the first time I'll be doing skinning bit.
Just wondering what people's views are on waxing skins, and the best technique to use if it's worth doing.
I've got Colltex mix if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

If your skins are new you shouldn't have to do anything.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Just an after thought .......
Although I had renewed the glue and applied spray-on treatment to the skis they still slipped in places at the weekend. This was because it was very sunny on Saturday and the tracks had iced up - long crampons were the answer.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'd certainly bother in spring. It isn't something I'd trouble myself with at the moment.
