jesus, what happened to the spirit and the anger that is normally associated with snow melting. I was just waiting for someone to vent...looks like all is lost
well if you really want to hear it the bases of my skis are covered in mud or something from when i went skiing last week and was skiing through puddles and dirt but im sure there are places where all to ski areas are closed for the season so i cant feel that bad.Quote:

Type of wax...you are a JONG, so a universal wax, which all the companies make, will be fine. In fact, its fine for most non-JONGS too, unless you're Bode Fucking Miller or a gapicski techno nerd. Swix F4 solid is a very good (and fairly cheap) universal lo-fluoro universal wax (the fluoro helps for for warmer temps) but you can go w/ the cheaper universal hydrocarbon wax, some of which is designated either warm or cold. Swix and Toko also make temperature rated hydrocarbon waxes (yellow, red, green), which are a little more temperature specific. For Mammoth in the Spring, all you will need is warm snow wax.
Don't worry about the expensive hi-fluoro shit.
You're welcome.
