Flying sticky paper roulette

The base is the polyethylene part underneath your equipment.
When it comes into contact with snow, tiny droplets form; the aim of waxing is to remove them as quickly as possible.
The edges are the metal strips on either side of the base.
Well-sharpened edges make for a more enjoyable experience.
When maintaining your equipment, sharpening always comes before waxing.
Wear gloves and an apron to protect yourself.
Use a stable stand to hold your equipment securely.
Use an elastic band to secure the ski stops.
Always dry your bases before waxing.
To prevent the edges and your bindings from getting dirty, cover the edges with tape.
The more regularly you wax your skis, the better they’ll glide.
