what's a good wax for coastal mountains and whistler

or very fast shirts.

definately. I bought ski clamps for 40$ probably 12 years ago, they make it alot easier, and will clamp on just about any surface.well, you can come on down to the JA tuning shop anytime. Going to have a session tonight in fact, including ptexing some Chance Creek Mainline holes. I promised Lee I'd show him the secret one of these days. He's got those new Goliaths that are slow as shit. I hope my new thunders are faster.

One other tip that I learned the hard way.

Clealy indicate which one of your irons is for shirts and which one is for skis. Beer(s) + iron that isn't for skis can lead to trouble later on.

Actually at home doing some tuning now. M's exploders edges were actually rounded. We are off to Seattle for some Cyrstal and Alpy fun with the skieattle crew and a few coming up from Tahoe.

Lee slow on those Goliaths? He prolly thinks they are supposed to make turns. Just not turing them should pick up some speed.

Is the full core showing?

No core is showing…. so I guess my question answered. Thanks for the info! :)

again I wouldnt use a p-tex you need to light cuz the repair doesn't last in my experiance …notice tognar calls it a temporary repair

Back to the orig question, which wax?

I find the red is my goto. For one, I always err on the side of waxing for colder.

Why? If the wax is for warmer and you get colder or more abrasive snow, then the wax really grabs hard and slows me down fast!

But if the wax is for colder and I end up in warm,wet,soft etc, then the skis don't run as fast but they do not have the same wax issue as when the wax is warmer and snow colder.

The coast is a bitch. Sometimes wet, sometimes frozen, sometimes just below freezing but very abrasive.

To get it done, just use regular non-flouro red. Cheap stuff almost everywhere.
The flouro is great but produces so much clingy shavings from static and costs 2 times as much.

Yellow is too mellow for a true coast fresh-frozen cement mixer skier!

Red Baby. Once every 5 to 10 ski days and don't spend too much time on it. There are better things in life than waxing poetic in the man-cave.

What to wax with in the spring here? Nothing works well because the grabbiness of spring snow is usually from the POLLEN, not from the snow temps. Warm wet snow covered in Cypress Tree Sap can end your season with a sudden slow-down lurch and injury.

Seriously, for spring, just use red too.

And always bring a hot tea so that you can enjoy that last ride down with a little reflective break in a picturesque setting somewhere safe along the slope-side.

mixing yellow and pink works good too.

spinner I'm with you, I use the cheap big blocks of Toko red from MEC. Does the trick and I only wax every 10ish ski days. As long as I glide decently on the run-outs I am happy.
