what frictional properties should ski wax have to achieve this goal?
Q. In cross-country skiing, skis easily glide forward but should remain at rest when the skier pushes back against the snow. What frictional properties should ski wax have to achieve this goal? I have no idea. I don't know anything about skiing or snowboarding.
Asked by chucknorris2c00l - Tue Apr 26 05:39:56 2011 - Physics - 1 Answers - Comments
A. It is strange that you should ask the question if you know nothing about skiing. However the key is that sliding friction should be low and static friction should be high. The low sliding friction means that once you start the ski moving it glides forward with low friction. Now imagine that you are stopped. You push backwards with your right leg. As long as you can kick the other foot free, the left foot will glide forward ( low sliding friction) and the right foot will lock against the snow ( high static friction). Now you lift the right leg slightly so that it is also sliding and you glide forwards until your energy is consumed. Now you repeat the situation with the other leg. Push back with the left so that it locks against the snow.… [cont.]

A. Hot WAX. I only hot wax mine. you get the best results and it is cheap for you to get done or easy to do yourself. You drip the wax off an iron onto the board and smooth it out and then scrap it off with a ski scraper and them brush it. To understand it better so you don't screw up your board go to you tube and look it up.

A. A citrus based cleaner is something you can get cheap at any grocery or hardware store. It should cut through the wax if you soak it on good and let it sit for a while. A soft brush or cloth could be used to rub it in and then off. The advantage is you can then use this cleaner on everything else in your house, while a special ski wax solvent is best used only for that and is probably more expensive.

How to i wax ski s that have chips in it?
Q. My skis have a lot of scratches and nicks on the bottom, sum r pretty deep. Do i wax the skis normally? or do i fill in the nicks and scratches and then wax them normally?
Asked by Micky T - Mon Mar 9 12:07:07 2009 - Snow Skiing - 5 Answers - Comments
A. For high performance or race skis, take them to a ski shop and have the bases filled with a "ptex" type material. They can wax the skis at the same time. Base repairs are not too hard, but I've never been able to have one stick like it should. Then you can wax them on a regular basis. I have some scratches on my skis from rocks and the shallow ones I ignore and wax right over them. Deep gouges need a pro shop to do it right. If these are used in the terrain park and fall, I'd suggest you use them till the end of the season and then buy a new pair with your own money.

How often do you need to sharpen and wax ski's ?
Q. I got my ski's sharpened and waxed a few years ago for a big ski trip, and it was cancelled. It has been a few years and I haven't used them, should I take them in before I hit the mountain again? or is the last wax and sharpen good because they were never used.
Asked by Jaxg - Mon Jan 26 20:23:27 2009 - Snow Skiing - 5 Answers - Comments
A. Your skis do not need a new sharpening, just as a knife doesn't get dull sitting in the drawer. However, if your edges are covered with rust from storage, you will definitely need a good sharpening or a "base grind" to take the rust off. The wax should be ok but you will want to check to make sure it still has a greasy/waxy feel to your base. Sometimes over time the wax will dry out during the summer and become brittle. If this happens, you may want to have them re-waxed. As it is apparent that you don't ski very often if it has been a few years, it is doubtful you will notice any difference if they have old wax or new wax. FYI, anytime you have your skis sharpened, you should have them waxed. Most tuning shops will have this… [cont.]

Can I use ski wax to make candles?
Q. I am part of a Nordic ski team. We have "Waxing parties" where we gather at a house and wax our skis as a team. I was just wondering if it is possible to collect used wax from the skis, and melt it down into candles. I thought it would make a fun gift for our coaches at the end of the season. We use many different types of wax. Red, Orange, Black, etc. Do the different melting points of these waxes make any difference in how the candle is made/ will burn? Thanks!
Asked by - Sun Dec 25 18:59:43 2011 - Snow Skiing - 2 Answers - Comments
A. I wouldn't. Most ski waxes contain fluorocarbons and are slightly toxic. They also tend to melt a low temperatures so a candle made from ski wax would burn down rather quickly.
