Waxing Waxless Skis. Is that possible? Is it prudent? Heck, even waxless skis need a little respect. They face the same problems every other ski does -- giving its owner a good glide. You need to give the glide portion of your skis as much attention as you do your other skis. Just apply wax in the same manner as I've described previously, just don't wax the waxless portion (usually fishscales) of the ski. There are rare
occasions when the snow conditions are right for your fishscales to ice
up. The temperature is just above freezing and you ski through some wet snow and
then into the shade and that moisture that just seeped into the pores of
your P-Tex in
the fishscale area freezes up solid. Lots of fun while you are jetting
down a hill and hit a shady patch of cold snow. Sometimes it makes me wish
I had an airbag on my skis it slows me down so fast. I swear sometimes my
nose is down by my ski tips I slow down so fast. |
