Do I need to wax my jib?

This summer I made a 8’ long handrail. I’m planning on bringing it to a hill near my house when there’s snow. I might have to fight off some kids with sleds but it’ll be alright. Do I need to wax the rail though? I’ll be using beater skis that haven’t ever been waxed since I got them and they are beat as hell.

It’s a stainless steel rail. One of the reasons I think I need wax is cause the pipe isn’t perfectly smooth, it has these tiny nibs throughout (if you’re into woodworking think a 100 grit finish) and I think wax would help with that.

Yeah I’ve experienced the same thing. I’ll just wait to hit it and make a call from there.
