But here is what I really want to discuss, waxing skis.
I'm going to Mammoth this weekend and will take one pair of skis, my Rossignol Experience 84, my favorite All Mountain ski. I do have 2 other pair: K2 Outlaw, and Volkl AC3. I'm only taking the Rossignols this weekend. I'm going to hot wax them. Does it make sense to wax all 3 pair? I may not use the others K2 for a few weeks. maybe longer.
Does wax dry out over time?
Over how long?
Should I just wait and only wax them just before I use them?
I'd like to see a write up on this from a ski or wax manufacturer or ski shop.
Thanks

Although our audience is global, the forum is quite UK-focused; and skiers in the UK have pretty much had this winter cancelled...

Probably... even if you don't use them soon, they'll be less work to prep when you do need them and you can also leave a little wax on your edges to help keep the rust away.

Eventually... but depends very much on which wax and what's in it... check the manufacturer's advice. Pretty sure I've seen some waxes explicitly labelled as "long life - suitable for storage" or something similar, but I gave up servicing my own skis a long time ago...
