Before I get told to searchbar, I can't find any info on this.

Should I or shouldn't I wax my skis before going to snowflex?

Doesn't really matter much. So much friction. After a few runs its all scraped off either way. If you end up not waxing and are convinced you should have when you get there. They have a quick wax machine there, you can get a wax for like $10

I've only been there once but I really don't think it makes a difference (tip: I know the website says this but I can't stress it enough, wear long sleeves! It may be really hot etc but brush burns off snow flex suck )

How bad are the burns? I was planning on wearing short sleeves when hitting rails, I can't imagine falling at relatively slow speeds could hurt that bad

Life hack:

1. Take tall sock.
2. Cut off ankle/calf part of said socks
3. Put them on/over your elbows
4. ?????
5. Proft.

Does the surface of snow flex do anything to the bottom of your skis? Im thinking its not the type of thing to use brand new skis on

The actual surface does not. But that material is held down by literally thousands of screw's. Sometimes one will works its way loose and come to the surface. After skiing there the 2 weeks of summer camp. I usually get at least 2 or 3 pretty good core shots.
