How to sharpen and wax skis?

WAX:

-tie brakes back with elastic

-with a scrubby brush off the dirt from bases, then whipe with towel

-scrape bases with scraper

-drip wax onto bases

-iron out the wax

-let it sit, then scrape till no more wax comes off

-unplug iron and go ride.

thats what i do and it works for me. i dont work in a shop or anything, but that does the job. im sure there is more minute details.
 
get a wax that you dont have to iron with thats super complicated.... find a good lite so you can see where you have waxed the just take of all the axcess with towel..... sharpening edges i have no clue about.... im not even sure about the wax but it works
 
some random kit i bought at okemo inside it has a file, sharpening stone, a huge cork block, iron on wax, that stuff to fill your bases, a metal brush, plastic scraper, and a scotch brite pad.... i have ironed on wax before and it came out ok im just wondering like thats the proper procedures to do all this stuff and how to use all it... if theres something online someone knows of just post the link for me or whatever. thanks
 
most of us ski park and so ill just assume that you do to. well anyways you dont want edges for park and rails otherwise you'll catch and its hard to butter
 
yea i used to just ride only mountain but im starting to get more into park i do rails and stuff so i wasn;t sure if i should even bother sharpening my edges because i know they will just get wrecking in a few hits on the rails anyway... so yea does anyone know what the cork would be for in that kit?
 
Yeah he's right you wanna buff it and brush it AFTER you wax...but pre scraping it is a decent idea...and ptex it before if you have any unwanted shit...if you want details on how to tune pm me..i do it for a job
