Solvent-free ski wax--it's called Sski

[wackymother Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close wackymother]

There was an article on this ski wax in our local paper a couple of weeks ago. I don't ski and had no idea that ski wax is generally toxic, but this new brand is supposed to be more environmentally sound and the paper says it works well, too.

SSKI Wax: The first fully synthetic, super-hydrophobic, solvent free rub-on ski and board wax.

Here's the article.

Nik L Nips wax juice bottles are an old time candy favorite from the 50’s. Each wax bottle is filled with a colorful juice. Drink the juice then chew the wax. Nik L Nips got there name because at one time these little wax juice bottles were only a nickel, even though the price has changed, Nik L Nips are still fun to eat.

I was 1) showing the not all wax is the same.
Ski wax is a speciallized item. What I thought was interesting was their three waxes depending on the ski conditions, and that their cold snow wax was only -5. Maybe that is close to where the ski resorts close.

If you ski over a weekend, and the conditions change, do you have to apply the different style wax for each condition? I haven't going skiing in many many years, and always just rented equipment.

And 2), you mentioned the wax juice bottles, so I was just showing the items to anyone not old enough to remember what you were talking about. I am old enough.
