Do I need to wax and sharpen my skis or snowboard before use?

Your skis or snowboard are waxed when you receive them, so you don’t need to apply wax right away. However, the factory wax is not long-lasting, so it’s recommended to reapply a fresh layer after 2-3 days of riding for optimal performance. The edges are tuned and do not need to be sharpened right away.
