Base Prep Wax

Base Prep Wax is specifically designed to clean and condition the base of your skis or snowboard before applying other waxes. Using it ensures better adhesion of subsequent wax layers, which can enhance your performance on the slopes. It’s essential for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of your equipment.

BP77 Wax is formulated to perform well in all snow conditions, making it a versatile choice for skiers and snowboarders. Its unique composition provides a smooth finish, which can improve glide and control. If you're looking for a reliable all-around wax, BP77 is an excellent option.

BP88 Wax is an all-around base wax that is particularly recommended for new skis and during travel. It adapts well to various winter conditions, making it a great choice for skiers who want a dependable wax that can handle different environments without needing frequent changes.

BP99 Wax is ideal as the first wax to apply to new skis because it helps prepare the ski bases for future waxing. It ensures that the base is properly conditioned, which can enhance the performance and durability of your skis right from the start.

The Hot Box method involves placing your skis or snowboard in a heated box to allow the wax to melt and penetrate the base more effectively. This process helps the wax bond better with the ski base, leading to improved performance and longevity. It’s a great way to ensure your skis are well-maintained and ready for the slopes.

While you can use different waxes, it’s best to follow a specific waxing routine. Start with BP99 for new skis, then use Base Prep Wax like BP77 or BP88 for regular maintenance. Mixing waxes can be effective, but ensure they are compatible and suited for the conditions you’ll be skiing in for optimal performance.
