warm-snow wax?

"warm snow" is 32 degrees. "Cold snow" is 32 degrees. "frozen snow"
is 32 degrees. Is there a pattern here?

Do you honestly think that snow stays at 32 degrees when the air temperature
drops to 20?

I doubt if Hollywood even owns a snow thermometer, much less comprehends
temp gradients through a snow pack.

Of course not. Only when it warms up outside. If it's 32 outside,
the snow is 32. If it's 40 outside, the snow is 32. If it's 45
outside, the snow is 32.

If the snow gets warmer than 32, it's now called, "water."





This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe

"Cold snow" is not 32 degrees, dumb ****.

Whew -- a real question about actually skiing!
I had really, really sticky skis the other day out in some warm snow the
consistency of mashed potatoes, the kind that can twist your knees off if
you
catch an edge. I had on three layers of Toko System 3 yellow wax, and I
thought
I'd brushed it out pretty well. But did I maybe not brush it enough? Did I
need
to rill it? Was that not the right wax? Did I need specific
well-above-freezing
wax?

Not sure about where you are skiing, but where I am, when it gets warm, all
of the dirt, grease, tree sap, squirrel crap, spit, snot, and whatever else
is usually frozen in the snow starts sticking to the base of even the best
prepared ski bases. And yes, if there is any wax on the surface of the ski,
this makes it even worse. Damn warm weather.
