The shop that mounted my ski's said that new ski's did not require being waxed or tuning the edges...I would have thought that a coat of wax wouldn't hurt the ski's before riding. should a new ski be waxed before riding? or how long should you wait before waxing?

no you dont need to wax a new ski before riding. unless the base wasnt covered and may be dirty

Yeah skis come ready to go out of the factory

Whats the difference between liquid wax and the rub on shit?
