Your skis that is.<\/p>\n

It’s recommended you wax your skis every 5 or 6 times out.\u00a0\u00a0 The reason being\u00a0the base of your ski is very porous (similar to your skin) with lotion (wax) you’ll have a better running surface.\u00a0 This will allow for increased glide over all snow conditions, less leg fatigue and increased speed. \u00a0The layer of water that is created by the friction between your skis and the snow will wick away from the base of your skis and not get absorbed into the base thus allowing for better glide\u00a0(even when you’re skiing powder).<\/p>\n

Remember the base of your skis is just like your skin, when it’s dry you take care of this by putting on lotion.\u00a0 Hot waxing is the lotion for your skis!<\/p>\n

Our Professional tech’s at the ski resorts will be able to take care of this for all of our guests, find them in the Repair area located in the Rental Shop\u00a0in the base area at Kimberley Alpine Resort. \u00a0For prices and services offered give our repair shop a call at 250-427-4881.<\/p>\n
