November snow- S/E Ontario

Did anyone get that Colorado Low in Ontario? We got 15 cm (1 foot) of snow last night in one shot. Sticky stuff. Eager to get some exercise I got out the Salomon Snowscape 7s (Waxless I believe). The snow was packing so bad on the bottom I could not hardly slide. Disappointing cause the snow was fre...

E99 Easy Skin xtralite- a wax ski

E99 Easy Skin xtralite is a wax model. Someone recommended the E99 Easy Skin xtralite, but I had previously said I shop for for wax-less ski. $135.CAD. I am not keen on waxing anything but my car and I never do that. I do lots of things, swim, bike, skate, ski, hike, work, renovate, travel and study...

Re: E99 vs. Outback 68 vs. Sporten Ranger

Woodserson and Folks,

QUESTION: COULD I PUT ON A WAX FOR ALL PURPOSE ON THESE E99 BCX (easy skin, $99.) THAT WOULD LAST LIKE 2 YEARS OF USE?

(I WILL NEVER USE THE YELLOW SKINS, EVER, ALSO I NEVER APPLY WAX TO XC SKIS, TOO MUCH HASSLE) I herringbone up hills.

E99 without wax?

I have no clue about waxing. I seek E99 without wax. Such a thing? If I wax anything it's my car. I try to get my alpine waxed and tuned by a good shop. I do not ever want to have to wax my cross-country skis, I haven't time to learn that till I am 70, now I am 45 years and 140lbs, 65kg weight and 5...

Re: E99 vs. Outback 68 vs. Sporten Ranger

Yes. I was recommended the E99. Is that the champion all around steel edge ski in the industry? (the Infiniti QX50 or QX70? bulletproof 6-cylinder 2009-2017 in skis?) Not an inexpensive ski the E99, like $400 CAD non? That's big bucks for a x-country ski, like a lot of money? Worth the price? I read...
