I hot-polar-waxed a pair of my skis about a year ago. Then it got below -25c with new snow; all glide was gone and snow stuck to the whole base. I went home, found the nearest liquid glide wax, waxed the glide zones, and the next day glide was back, though still sticky grip zone. Glide lasted a Sunday skijoring(15-25km?), after that hot waxed with glide wax.

(another totally sidetracked question: how to grip wax -25 - -40c with sticky snow?)
A good string about grip and glide at low temps:.
