ive noticed it a bit, the bases just deteriorate faster, especially when theyre in storage. i like to keep my stuffwaxed cause it prevents scratchjes and stuff

plus its a pain in the ass. Your skis might stick to the snow if its above freezing and you wont go nearly as fast as you should.

yeah, what the kid in the first reply said. the bases def deteriorate in storage. at the end of the season, i always pile the wax onto my skis, and scrape it off at the beginning of next season. wax makes your bases slicker when you ride, and just give you more speed.

What happens is that the friction on the snow burns up your ptex. thats why it turns white.

It's not that your skis will suck with out wax, it's just that they will be so much better with wax
