That's pretty much exactly what it said. No pores in sintered P-Tex.

News to me but hey, you learn something new every day, that is if the internet is to be trusted...

Whenever they start to feel slow and/or look dry. I'd say that happens once a month, after ten or so skiing days.

usually every other week, or if i know the weather is going to be colder/warmer than usual, I'll wax with something different. Normally, I stick with swix ch7

If I'm touring, every day. Skins fuck that shit up.

Otherwise I'll wax up the skis every few days unless there is a significant change in weather/snow conditions, or I've hit a shitton of rails.

Oh my gosh I feel horrible. I've been neglecting my skis so much. They went over 10 6 hour days without being waxed. I'm going to buy some next time I go skiing. I feel aweful. My skis are my pride and joy.

I wax them between every 5 and 15 times i go skiing indoors. I always do it when I'm bored, or I notice that my skis are getting slow. Especially indoors I really notice the difference.
