Default Early ski wax?

Very cool! I am going to have to try Super Hot Sauce glide wax! Would
be nice not to have to re-wax with temperature change. Anybody here try it?

Seems like the first grip was one ski with some kind of animal skin.

Then maybe wooden skis with full length grip wax (is that right?).



So;

when did wax that can grip and also glide come into use?


There's a lot of information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_wax#History
