How often should ski be waxed?
It’s recommended you wax your skis every 5 or 6 times out. The reason being the base of your ski is very porous (similar to your skin) with lotion (wax) you’ll have a better running surface. This will allow for increased glide over all snow conditions, less leg fatigue and increased speed.
What happens if you don’t wax your skis?
Over time, without wax, the base of a ski or board will start to dry out and whiten, almost like the black is fading. As it continues to dry, it shrinks. In extreme cases, the base can shrink away from your edges, making them prone to blowing out of the ski on a rock or hard ice.
What is included full ski tune?
A basic tune-up will include a sand-grind to flatten and clean the base. They will also sharpen the edges, de-tune the tale and tip, and apply a hot wax treatment. You may also have the option of paying extra for a stone-grind to help add structure to the base.
How do I know if my skis need waxed?
Discoloration on the base of skis is common when the layer on wax on then has diminished or has been removed. This is one of the clearest signs that your skis are in need of re-waxing.
