Sticky wax

It could be a wax for warmer temperatures which means the wax will be much softer than a wax for colder temperatures. These warm waxes usually feel slow, or 'sticky' when feeling your base after scraping. Brushing is what will take out all the excess wax as it has seeped into the pours of your base, and a scraper won't do the trick.

well the whole point of wax is to create friction with the snow

but i would guess that putting surf wax on your skis doesnt work well

I had the same free sample with the same experience. Just brush allot.

maybe its wax for nordic skiing; they apply special grip or sticky wax underfoot so they can push off better....

Hey, just saw this. Yes, the wax is more 'sticky' than say a swix wax. It has to do with the different waxes that go into creating the wax. As other people said just brush, or leave in on and 'ski it off', either way works fine.
And yes, it is ski wax.
