Grip wax

Many are afraid of grip wax, don't be! Klister can provide very good skis and is not that difficult.

Klister is applied in a shorter zone than can wax, this is because klister builds more under the skis. The klister is applied thinly in short lines diagonally backward from the center edge of the ski. Distribute the klister with a cork, or even better with your thumb.

The easiest way is to apply klister indoors, the klister is easier to work with when it is warm. 

The biggest problem with klister is that it can ice/freeze if you ski in new snow. This is often remedied by thinly covering the klister with a can wax.
