Skin & Wax-Free

A pair of skins lasts about 100 miles in the ski track. This depends a bit on how you ski and where you ski. In some well-used tracks, a lot of other skiers' wax and adhesive get caught in your skins. To ensure the skins last as long as possible and provide the best effect, they need to be cleaned and treated. It's important to use a cleaning product specifically designed for skin skis (alcohol-based) and not regular wax cleaner for, for example, can wax.

Well-maintained skins provide both better glide and better grip, plus they prevent freezing, which is otherwise common, especially in new snow.

The glide surfaces on your skin skis are waxed with glide wax just like regular skis, we can recommend Start's new liquid glide waxes.
