ski wax
Glide coating product
Ski wax is a substance applied to the base of skis or snowboards to improve performance on snow.
Different formulations suit different snow temperatures and conditions.
Wax reduces friction for faster gliding, and in cross-country skiing, grip waxes help with traction on uphills: I need to rewax—the snow's warming up.
