1) Do you wax your skis: YES OR NO

wax for conditions every night/morning prior to skiing.   especially in POW.   Nothing like have an effortless glide in conditions, makes everything easy.

1) yeah i wax my skis

2) it gives me something to do, but im lazy so it only gets done two to three times a season. this sucks because even after i wax them, it just gets rubbed off on the boxes/rails. have fun

yes, but not nearly enough. If I wasn't lazy I'd probably be waxing my skis at least once a month... when the temperature changes (aka - the snow changes) a new wax job is probably a good idea.

As to how much I actually do - once or twice a season.

very inconsistantly, i usually only ski for like a week at a time, and its usually only two weeks, so i wil wax once at the beginning of the season, then before the second week, and then after the season. or other times in between.
