How do you wax your skis?
Waxing the soles of your skis is an essential operation. The aim is toimprove glide, but also to protect and extend the life of your equipment over time. Speck-Sports shows you how to wax your skis, how often and what tools you'll need.
How do I wax the soles of my skis?
When should you wax your skis?
Going out with skis that have just been waxed is like going out with brand new skis. We recommend that you wax them at least once at the end of the season. If you notice a drop in performance, it's time to give your skis a makeover. For skis bought second-hand, we recommend that you wax them before hitting the slopes, to make sure you get the most out of their performance.
Do I need to wax new skis?
New skis are already ready for the snow. However, you can still wax them to apply a wax more suited to the snow conditions.
In short, remember that your skis will glide better and last longer if you look after them regularly.
Waxing is one of the procedures for maintaining your skis, but there's also sharpening, which is generally done at the same time as waxing. Discover our experts' advice and technical guides on how to choose and maintain your equipment:
