 Poster: A snowHead
|
can someone give impartial advice on how often skis should be waxed? I am an intermediate and have used my skis on piste for 2 weeks since they were waxed and they still seem to glide well.
any advice would be welcome.

I usually wax mine every 2-5 days. When the base starts looking lighter near the edges it's time to wax.

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

Is that a full wax or spray on?

Last year, I was waxing mine about once every 2to 3 days while in the Alps. As soon as my ski bases got dull/grey, I rewaxed them.

Wax mine before 6 days skiing, and use either a liquid wax for the last couple of days, or this year will use Zardoz or suchlike to see how good it is.

I have used Zardoz in the past and it is a good short term fix for better glide.
PS I will be waxing my new skis (ive done 6 hours indoor on them from new) and have not had any wax added from purchase.
Do I need to hot wax scrape before adding the finished coat to set and scrape?

I never use spray on, but "full wax" with hot scraping and then layers and layers of wax I do about once a year (I ski about 40 days/season but also have several pairs of skis). Otherwise it's just a coat of temp specific wax.
