I need some help. I'm skiing (indoor :( ) in 2 hrs, but my bases are shot, they literally don't move at all on snow. The shops are all shut now, and I have run out of wax.

Anyone know if its legit just to use a wax crayon on bases? Anyone done it before? Results?

Thanks, ++++K for help.

i've heard prit stick works because at -0.5 degrees it cannot dry out and provides a slick surface thats slideable

yeah pretty much. for park though you can just throw on all temp (grass green, or even olive green) and not worry about it.

give it a go, it should work fine (as long as you don't mind some color on your bases)

Ok, so its not particularly cold in there, so i've settled on "Light Vermillion". I'm going to apply it now, and report back in 5 hrs or so. Peace.

I put like mop n glo floor wax on my bases once in a real bind. Was literally a temp fix, didn't make it through the day. But it worked for a few hours.

wax need not apply as long as you slap some flame stickers on the bottom..

Your bases are what keep you ripping during the winter... dont ruin good bases with stuff thats not meant to be absorbed by your base... Your local shops are closed, buy online.


Some stuff is even on sale now

actually if you have Rain-x just slap that on your bases and you will glide like crazy but it wears off fast so like every couple of runs, reapply

Pam all purpose spray or pledge lemon are great for sand dunes... maybe summer skiing too.
