Army's Tuning Tips

Wax does not last too long...

Wax does not last too long and weares off quickly, so the more often we wax, the better condition our bases will be.

TIP1
Check to see if your base still has wax in it.  Drip a drop of water on it; if it forms a round droplet you have wax in it. If it lays flat, your base is dry! 

If you have just waxed with Fluorinated wax, not only will the water form a droplet, it will run off the base when you tilt the ski!

TIP2
The colder the temperature, the more you will have to brush and polish the base.

TIP3
All ski bases should be brushed after taking them out in the cold air, as wax will be squeezed out of the base as it contracts due to the cold air. This allows the sharp snow crystals to grab the excess wax.
Army's tuning book is full of his many World Cup tuning secrets!
