hahaha if you wax for a comp. or something you best scrape or else your ass is gonna be going slow... but if you have some time to ski the wax off, then I imagine why not leave it on...

unless it's mega cold (like below -15C), the excess wax will come off in a run or two. no use scraping in that case.

however, if it is very cold, the wax will still come out, and bring bits of your base with it. so yeah if you care about the condition of your skis at all (and im guessing you do since you're bothering to wax them), scrape when it's cold.
