It is requested that posters refrain from employing the term "snow" during the period 1st May- 31st August (incl).
.. I guess I'm enjoying living where 'keeping fit' in winter doesn't mean shuffling arounds a sweaty carpeted gym full of meat heads, neither does it mean donning the oldest running trainers I own so that when I step outside to do a few laps - I don't get mugged for my shoes...
..ahem, bring on the snow (i say quietly)
..in Masala (land of the free), I drop my ski's outside the patio door and push across the field to the lit ski loop...its heaven!
it's been done like that for ages... so you should be ok
..but the catch is keeping the temperature right..some waxes go on at a lower temp...here's the blurb from Wiki..
Softer waxes for warmer conditions require lower iron temperatures than harder waxes for colder conditions; the appropriate ironing temperature for a given wax is often listed on its packaging.
..thats where I think it all gets unstuck since who knows what the surface temp of the bodged iron is...
..I'll keep googling; must be some hard-core, snow-cave sleeping snow boarder who's figured it out..
(of course, most people don't bother with different waxes in different conditions...but really, once you got the right wax for the right snow at the right temperature...you literally 'fly' up the hills aswell as down)
