Snow Sticking to Bases...

On my Atomic Tweaks, my backyard jib skis, the snow is actually sticking to the bases of the ski, and I can't slide (on snow) at all. They were inside all night and warm. Does anyone know what the problem is, could it be from going immediately from warm to cold and the bases are having the snow stick to them? Anyway to fix this?

have you waxed your skis at all this year? I did and I still had a bit of trouble on sticking on snow in my backyard. After the snow got packed down I was fine though

ya that happens every now and then to me, you need to wax them. but when im already outside jibbing and dont wanna wax, it usually works to just scrape the bases against somethign abrasive so it comes off, then just slide them against the snow and it usually wont stick anymore

You need to wax your skis with the apporpriate wax. Keep in mind, waxes are made for certain weather conditions. The wetter the snow the more fluros you need in your wax, i.e. the type of wax you use.
