A base prep wax on skis is used to deeply penetrate the ski base, acting as a foundational layer that improves the adhesion of subsequent wax layers, essentially "priming" the base to better hold onto the performance wax you apply on top, maximizing its effectiveness and durability, especially on new or freshly ground skis; it also helps protect the base from drying out and provides initial lubrication against snow abrasion. This service can be added on to any universal or premium wax service from Chicago's friendly ski shop.
