nothing to do with wax, everything to do with 4 feet of blower powder.
There were a lot of lawn darts. The popular options were:
1) get stuck in waist deep pow, spend 5 minutes digging out and then get stuck 5 feet further
2) get stopped in waist deep pow, but going fast enough to stop head first with your feet on the air and your head on the ground
3) same as option 2, but DIN low enough to double eject. Search for skis next ten minutes, do not pass go, do not collect $200
Seriously that deep. Awesome.
