Question 4

What does a snowboard or ski wax do?

Accepted Answer

Stop fighting friction all day and stop getting stuck on those long flat cat tracks.

The base of your skis or snowboards have tiny pores. Hot wax saturates the base and fills those holes with wax. Since the wax is hydrophobic it causes to the snow to glide ride over the base insted of getting stuck and slowing you down!

Question 5

How often should you wax skis or snowboards?

Accepted Answer

Once a week of skiiing is standard but 3-4 days is even better. The reason is as you ride the wax rubs off and that causes your skis to slow down.

"Asking a wax pro if you need a wax is like asking a barber if need a haircut... you could alway use a trim." You can also tell by looking and feeling the bottom of your base and is it looking dry, white, and textured then its time for a wax just like chapped lips. If your feeling sluggish it might be time for a wax, just come by and we'll let you know!!!

Question 7

What is an snowboard or ski sharpening?

Accepted Answer

If you love groomers an edge sharpening is the way to go. This causes you to make smoother turns because it gets all the little nicks out of your edges and the sharp edge will dig into the snow causing you to make better turns.  Just tell us what kind of skiing you like and well decide how sharp to do your edges. Even if you have "sharp" edges, there will be little imperfections (burrs) from running over little rocks and debris. We'll smooth those out with a diamond stone so you can keep making those deep carves and stop when you want!
