Urgent: what can I do for more speed on sticky snow!

Use warm weather wax

This,

What you need

1/2 cup of Vodka

1 3/4 cups of Personal Lubricant

7 milliliters of snowboarder tears

1 raw onion

1 fake passport

2 large boxes of paper clips

17 zip ties

3 rolls of duck tape

Even more effective then the right wax is a correct base structure. For spring a deeper structure will help for wetter snow. A full base grind and stone grind is always nice but can make a massive difference in spring.

Just punched a snowboarder but only got 6, I'm fucked

Good advice, I'll keep it in mind next year... But it's closing day!

Self threadjack: would it be illegal to come to this place which has hella snow but is closing today and build my own kicker and hit it

Ejaculate onto your bases every night before you ski. A reapplication of your semen every few runs doesn't hurt either.

Only allowed if your kicker doesn't suck. I see so many people building horrible kickers in the worst places.

Last week at Oak I had to break somebodies booter that was touching the side of an up rail and maybe an inch set back from the steep landing. I would have left it if it wasn't such a abortion.


I used to have avalanche shovels in my backpack 15 years ago and build booters all day everyday.

Figure that you aren't allowed to and do it somewhere where the slope is right but you aren't highly visible. If you fall don't sue them

Depends who owns the land. If it's private property you could be done with trespassing. If it's public land you could be ok but cheack if it's in a provincial or state park as that could cause problems too

crouch

you need some ass wax

depends. if it is private land, you can get in trouble for trespassing.
if it is federal/forest land, you technically only pay to use the resort lifts, and the runs down are public land. if thats the case, go for it and tell patrol to fuck off if they give you problems

There's this stuff called moly fluoro.

It's sold in black bricks, just rub that shit onto your bases and either cork it in or melt your normal running wax over it (corking it in won't last more than two full days of riding, melting over will last as long as the wax job plus some), and it will help with (A) warm conditions, as it is a soft wax, (B) extremely wet or dry snow, the shit that always sticks to your skis- it'll stop it from sticking,and (C) dirty snow, it'll slide well over it and protect your bases a little. it never has any bad effects. (except it sticks to grass since it's soft, so keep it on snow and you'll be fine)

You can get a brick for about $45 that'll last years, or else you can get (expensive, so i don't suggest it) running wax with it premixed in.

^ no. Continuously shaving down your base is stupid. The factory grind is the best all around base structure your skis will ever have. If your base looks like a teenagers face then yes you could use a regrind. But find a good shop that knows what they are doing. Stories about shops royally fucking up skis base grinds are all over the internet. But if your base still looks pretty smooth just wax and scrape.

I now have a full kilo of this swix moly fluoro shit you are talking about. It was pretty cheap, and it is either low or mid fluoro. Smells pretty fluory so i think it could be a mid fluoro wax.

Its still selling for the same 120$ per 900 grams which for a fluorinated wax is pretty much a better deal than any of the other fluoro shit left on the internet. I wont have a chance to test it until next season but doing the water droplet test it seems very hydrophobic so it should be good in mid temp/warm snow.

heres a picture of the deal at snowinn that i took advantage of.

In total now i have 24 kilograms of low fluoro universal wax which should last me a couple seasons. Go big or go home bc this fluoro sweetness isnt coming back.
