Use cold temp wax when there are cirrus clouds and use warm temp wax when there are cumulonimbus clouds.

I'll take pity...

1. SEARCH function
2. Get a real waxing iron...they work far better than normal clothes irons
3. Dakine's triangle scraper is money...no flex, easy grip
4. Benches > cardboard boxes. Here are the cheapies I made, they work great

5. Beer/ green is key to a productive night.

Damn! You beat me to it!

I think it may start with choosing a new name; we already have enough Jim S' and no one likes them. A close second would be getting a long rope (less mass). A long ladder would be unwieldy.

okbye

I love it when you guys wax poetic.

Watch this video. It helped me a lot.

And they aint "your skies." They belong to none of us or all of us, depending on whether or not you have an anthropocentrist view of the world. Either way, they aint your stinkin' skies. Sheez.

Well....'ladder and skies' went right over my head (pun intended).

In this event, lots and lots of spray wax will provide better coverage. You'll also need a huge capacity compressor, sprayer, time and beer supply.

I would suggest starting with just the moon, then moving on to major stars as your wax supply/budget allows.

No idea how to wax skies but while you're up there, maybe seed some clouds for us. This snow year blows.

Ya seed the clouds and change the color while you're at it. Blue is just so.....meh.

Google Doug Coombs half assed wax job, or something like that. Do it like Coombs does and you are guaranteed to drop 50 footers the next time out.

Actually, he does a nice job on an easy way to wax skis. You won't win world cups, but it is all you really need to be core like Doug.

I would recommend a warm temp wax because it will work better with the sun's rays. Also, you'll need a fully pressurized suit so you don't die asphyxiating while your blood boils. Actually why don't you go asphyxiate while your blood boils?

You guys actually wax? I havent waxed anything in 8 years.......literally (no shops, no nothing). Waxing is totally overrated.

Favorite quote: Huh, no wax is the wrong wax again.

I found this website really helped me out

Are you cereal? I'm a waxing fantatic. Well, at least if waxing every few days of skiing = fantatical.

Waxing equals
-faster
-smoother
-skins come off easier
-less base damage
-shiny glow to my legs and 'bikini area'

You don't need wax for snowblades. Just spray cooking oil on em.

The best way to wax your skies is to wax poetic.

There are skies above skies,
In other places
Where things don't happen at all;
And there is no truth,
And there is no lie.

And when you try to find them,
You never succeed
You just imagine you have;
And then they are gone,
Because there never was one.

There is a dream
inside a dream,
That no one has seen
And only you make them happen;
And there is no truth,
And there is no lie
