  10. @jimkreft Geesh. I guess I'm old. When I was a kid, we used beeswax on our skis. And a company back home is attemtping to make it for skiing.

    "Back before petroleum based waxes were available skiers utilized natural ingredients to wax the bottom of their skis. We will not go into the specifics of glide and grip but we will let you know that we have been experimenting with our friends at Pioneers Board Shop in North Hampton on a beeswax based snowboard/ski wax that is effective and 100% natural and biodegradable. Our 5th formula seems to have made a big improvement on glide and I tested it in some perfect conditions at Sunday River at the end of February. Snow conditions and weather play a big role in the type of wax one can use but so far our test batches have performed well over the synthetic waxes that are found on the market."

  11. News flash -- "#SkiWax" is not made from wax!

    #Skiers are leaving dangerous '#ForeverChemicals' on the slopes

    Story by Wiliam Hunter

    - Scientists found unusually high levels of 14 different chemicals at ski resorts
    - These chemicals, called #PFAS, have been linked to cancer and infertility

    "Skiers chasing smoother runs are leaving behind a trail of toxic 'forever chemicals', a new study has revealed.

    "Scientists found high levels of PFAS chemicals commonly used in ski wax in the snow and soil of Austrian resorts.

    "While wax containing PFAS reduces friction between snow and skis, experts from The James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen and the University of Graz in Austria warn it could also be creating a dangerous hazard.

    "These chemicals have been linked with cancer, thyroid disease, fertility issues, and liver damage.

    "Viktoria Mรผller, of James Hutton Institute, says: 'These chemicals are called forever chemicals because they will need hundreds of years to break down.'

    "The researchers collected snow and soil samples from family skiing spots in the Austrian #Alps as well as six commercially available ski waxes.

    "These samples were then tested for 30 of the most common per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also called PFAS, found in ski wax.

    "Testing revealed that 14 different types of PFAS were found at far higher levels than in areas not normally used for skiing."

    #Backcountry #skiing (especially #XCD and other #telemark-based genres) comes with a tough learning curve, demands more dedication and (as we both noted earlier) a lot of experimenting.

    Here in Germany, it's hard even to find a shop that can mount 75mm bindings. And I'm not sure that is going to change. I'm sure only a small fraction of today's resort #skiers are going to make the transition... and most of those will try #alpine touring equipment first.
