“Wow, the snow is really sticky today!”
It’s so exciting to get out after a big snow storm and be the first person to break tracks through fresh snow. BUT, that excitement can turn to dismay when you realize there are inches of snow stuck to your skis. You would give anything just to get a couple glides instead of trudging. To avoid letting your ski adventure become a flounder fest, take some quick preventative measures.
But first, why does snow build up under skis, especially at warmer temps?
When skis glide on snow friction is created between the bottom of the ski and the snow, which melts the snow. If the base of the ski is untreated the water penetrates the base. The water that has penetrated with the base now bonds to the snow on the trail, and the snow adheres to the base. And now we have sticky skis!
What to do?
Stop by a local ski shop (eg Skinny Skis, JD Highcountry Outfitters, Yostmark) and get yourself some Maxiglide, or Toko Express Wax. Before you ski, wipe it on, rub it in, wait a few minutes, then you are good to go!
