I have do do a data project at school and If you guys could help me out by stating:

1) Do you wax your skis: YES OR NO

2) If YES how often (for example: once a week, once a month, twice a year.

If you post that info I will give you +Karma

Not very often. I would say once or twice a year. I used to wax my XC skis once a week though, but I had all the equipment.

I got the waxed for the first time in 2 seasons after I started casing every jump.  Now I overshoot everything and wreck myself silly landing on flat ground.
