Have you ever been out skiing, working your heart out, but going nowhere fast? I have! Nothing is more frustrating than having skis that don’t glide well. Though it sounds simplistic,” the idea of skiing is to glide on snow. Skis that don’t glide require more energy to make them move, they are also harder to turn and just not much fun.” (https://fasterskier.com/) The glide phase of skiing is a time for rest and recuperation while savoring that feeling of skis sliding on snow. “Glide is good!”

What can do if your skis don’t glide well? Before you throw them away or quit the sport, be a “glide detective.” Narrow down the culprits. Is it the skis, the wax, snow conditions, or your technique? It could be a combination of any of those.
