Anyone know whats wrong? its a lil hard to see in the second pic but its weirdin me out
 
Yeah, it looks like those skis are completely ruined. Send them to me; I'll dispose of them properly for you at no cost.
 
Are you just waxing by rubbing on the wax then using a blowdrier to melt it in before scraping? If so, you're not getting nearly enough wax in the base to fully hydrate it. You need to drip a bunch on with an iron, then melt it in with the iron before scraping, etc. If you just waxed 2 weeks ago WITH an iron, well then you're either not doing it right, or like I said before, your skis are completely ruined and you should send them to me for disposal...
 
Yea I wax with an iron and I don't think I'm waxing them wrong but on the topic of waxing what type of wax should I use on my jjs which I ski in the pnw and my bent chetlers which I will use in Montana?
 
Wax is not determined by where you ski, it is determined by what the snow conditions are when you ski. Your best bet now is to get a cheap multi puporse wax and do a storage wax. Wax like normal with an iron but do not scrape them. Then before you ski them next season, scrape, clean wax, then wax agian with the appropriate wax for where you will be skiing.

It may be a good idea to go get a base and stone grind before you storage wax them. That way it is done ready for next season.
 
I thought there were different waxes for different temperatures? Anyone recommend a certain brand? If I remember correctly I am using swix or something on all my skis
 
swix make good wax. Pretty much though get a cheap all purpose wax for a storage wax though. You dont want to waste a good hi fluro wax, when you are never actually going to ski on the storage wax.
