Do you wax your own skis?

[ferrinski86]

just wondering if you guys wax your own skis or if you have them done professionaly. i wax my own.

 

[Tinga]

umm yeah i do my own an iron is like 20 bucks if you get one at target or somethign and like 60 grams of wax is like 6 bucks to get them perfersionally done its like 13 each time. so after like 3 times its worth the money

yea i wax my own skis, but twice a year i get it done at a shop (which i do myself any ways) cause the ocatinal base grind is good for it. also seeings how the summer is coming up heres a tip from a shop tech, take a day after you season is donw and melt on a generous portion of wax onto you skis and spread evenly. then reheat the wax about once a hour for like 5-6 hours. then just leave the wax untill you go skiing next winter( by then it will be in the base really well

Waxing it yourself is cheap and kinda fun, you get a sense of achivement too you can say...'Damn my skis slide good and its because I did it'

wax my own. get iron from di or other thrift stores for cheap. just don't tip the iron over on accident and burn the carpet like my bro-in-law did last year.
