Hi everyone! For my final year Product Design project at university, I am looking to develop a product to improve the process of waxing skis. It would be really appreciated if anyone could fill out the survey below to give me some primary data to use in the design process.

Thanks a lot for the help!

don't worry man, as you get used to being on skis, and your changing body, you'll get more comfortable and soon want to try going a little faster

Waxing is great and all but if you can clear all features whats the point

joking aside, waxed skis will be much more consistent with speed, and will even turn better etc. plus, why get stuck on flats (or go slower than you could be going, period)?

I see what you mean. I think I just don’t want to spend the money or time.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TI see what you mean. I think I just don’t want to spend the money or time.

i hear you. if it's not a big part of your life i'd say just get it done once a year at a shop (at a shop that doesn't gouge you for it) or do what i did, buy a mini wax iron for like $20-30 and then you just need to buy a bar of wax every now and then (super seldom if you don't use it much)

i just hate the feeling of being sluggish on skis
