Easier to prep, faster to ski? G2 vs grip tape

Hi all,

From all I've read, it seems when I want to enjoy good classic skiing (I will pnly manage limited mileage), Zero skis are safe bet for Zero conditions. When I am in the position to score some, I suppose I'll have to.

But I want something more all-round too, preferably on a budget (I don't have access to large stock shops to be fitted from, and can'r justify the cash involved).

What is my best best to get easy kick and good glide, from an equal quality and flex ski:
- G2 (Grip&Glide) fish scale type no-wax skis (glide wax and forget)
- Grip tape on waxable skis (remove a bit of tape at a time, until perfect?)

Atomic for instance, has their Pro Classic boards (I am LOVING their Pro Skate for what it is, even though I have "nicer" $$$ skate skis too) in both G2 and waxable. These are affordable skis, and hey, I already have Atomic classic boots. The older ones match color. No, I'm not gay, just got a thing for boots and skis.

Yes, I know a good waxed ski is only to be beat in Zero conditions, but my mileage will just not justify stocking up on hard waxes and klisters, or spending much time figuring this out.

Thanks in advance,

J
