second snow today is a wetter snow and it's very difficult to move
without getting snowballs on the bottom of the skis.

Out of curiosity, are you keeping your skis indoors, or in a
heated car while driving to where you ski? If you are,
skiing on them before they've cooled off can cause clumping.
In that case the easiest remedy is to leave them outside, or
use a ski rack on your car.

Leaving skis outside for a few minutes might help (emphasis on
"might"), because wet snow at the right temp range will attach no
matter what. To clarify Melinda's suggestion about a car rack, it
should be an *enclosed* rack. Exposure to the elements on a car roof
is an easy way to screw up ski bases and bindings. Easiest remedy,
though, is to "grease" your kick zone.
