Skiers must use the wax that is best suited for the temperature on the day they wish to ski. Each different color of wax represents a different temperature range. Use the color that matches your temperature range. Read the packaging to see which colors represent which temperature ranges.

∙ 15y agoskis are waxed to reduce the friction with the snow and therefore if there is less friction then the skis will go faster.

Will a heavier couch with wider and longer skis attached to the bottom travel faster down a hill than a lighter couch with skinny skis?
Yes, the extra weight of the couch will give it a greater maximum velocity, as well as rate of acceleration, on and off-piste. Longer and wider skis means a greater area of contact with the snow, causing greater acceleration: Provided the skis are reasonably waxed/ prepared. If the ski bases are dried out, they may actually slow you down, since a dry ski base will have a braking, friction effect.
How do you spell waxed?
Waxed is the correct spelling.
How long should skis last?
A well maintained ski should last forever. That means keeping it dry, waxed, not allowing the edges to rust, etc. However, just because a ski lasts forever doesn't mean you should continue to ski on it forever. Ski construction continues to advance, and skis from 20 years ago, while still usable, are techically inferior. Much like a car from the 1950s will still work and indeed has some charm, old skis will work fine. However, you will be missing out on the technological advances in the past including differently shaped skis, vibration dampening technology, materials tech making the skis lighter and stronger, etc.
