I listened to the Blister podcast and read up a little on this stuff. I definitely want to give it a try on one pair of skis. I can see the limitations of it from what they say about it on the podcast. It is not "more slippery" than wax, kind of the equivalent to "all temp wax", think Dominator Zoom. It also isn't slippery when in a lift line, like fresh wax is, you need a little speed to get the glide. I guess that might be a good thing, but I get a kick out of the feel of slippery skis when at the bottom of the hill, especially when I have a long traverse to skate. The big questions in my mind is how will it do in really cold temp <15F and really warm temps >40F. Those are the times when I need to use different wax than a all temp Zoom type wax. It says it does really well in warm temps, so it might eliminate the need for Dominator Butter wax in the spring
.
Even if it eliminates about 80% of waxing, I think that will be a big plus and I don't think the price is that unreasonable, and should come down over time. Assuming of course, it lasts for 4 years plus.
Also, where can I get some National Lampoon Sled Wax?
