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 :-)

Chaps and chapesses,
Looking for some opinions from the people of snowheads....
Given an adult ski in average condition(160); how many grams of wax do you suggest one might use to wax said pair of skis? 1/4 a "small" block ? so about 10 gms for a pair; or being generous / poor condition 20 grams for a pair.

You're in luck! I'm in my workshop where I wax my skis and there are some scales handy.
I reckon I use about 6g of Toko hard wax per ski - give or take. Too much wax and it just falls off the sides. But then I scrape a fair proportion of it back off again.
There must be over 9kg of wax left so that's another 1500 skis!!!
Why on earth do you want to know?

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

, rough rule of thumb - a 200g block should wax about 15 pairs
