The shop that mounted my ski's said that new ski's did not require being waxed or tuning the edges...I would have thought that a coat of wax wouldn't hurt the ski's before riding. should a new ski be waxed before riding? or how long should you wait before waxing?

no you dont need to wax a new ski before riding. unless the base wasnt covered and may be dirty

Whats the difference between liquid wax and the rub on shit?
