It leaves a slick, hydrophobic film on the top surfaces of your skis or snowboard, so wet snow sheds on contact instead of packing into clumps that add weight and kill your day. The whole routine takes about a minute. Spray the top of your board or skis, wipe it out with a cloth, and go ride. It layers right over an ironed base wax as a topcoat, so it slots into the tune you already do instead of replacing it. Made in the USA in a 2 oz (59 ml) fine-mist bottle small enough for a jacket pocket or the outside sleeve of a ski bag. \u003cstrong\u003e$15.95 for one, or $13.95 each when you buy two or more\u003c\/strong\u003e — the discount comes off automatically in the cart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy people buy it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnow sheds instead of sticking.\u003c\/strong\u003e The hydrophobic film gives wet, heavy snow nothing to grab onto, so it slides off the topsheet on contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLess dead weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e No clumps building on the board between runs, and nothing to bang off the lift bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSixty-second application.\u003c\/strong\u003e Spray, wipe, ride.

Slope-X is a topcoat, and the label directions are to spray the top of your skis or board and wipe it out. It layers over an ironed base wax rather than replacing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it replace hot wax?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Hot wax handles glide on the base. Slope-X handles snow sticking to the surfaces above it — topsheet, bindings, boots. Most people do both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on how much surface you cover and how often you top up. A thin, even film is all it takes, so most riders get many applications out of a 2 oz bottle and refresh between days rather than soaking the gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat temperature should I apply it at?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply it indoors or in a warm room when you can. A dry surface at room temperature lets the film lay down evenly. Once it is on, it is built for winter conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe on topsheet graphics?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made for ski and snowboard topsheets. As with any coating, if you are working on something unusual — a painted sled, a wrapped hood — test a small hidden spot first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it on anything besides skis and boards?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Snow shovels, snow blower chutes, plow blades, sleds, ice augers, truck beds and anything else snow packs onto. Just keep it off surfaces you walk or stand on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is in it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA PTFE-based hydrophobic topcoat.

The discount is applied automatically in your cart, so just change the quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipped from Sauk City, Wisconsin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest Home Goods is based in Sauk City, Wisconsin, and we ship Slope-X anywhere in the United States. If you ride Devil’s Head, Cascade Mountain, Tyrol Basin, Granite Peak or Wilmot, this is exactly the snow this snow repellent spray was made for — heavy, wet Midwest powder that welds itself to a topsheet by the second run. We also keep it stocked for the shovel-and-blower half of a Wisconsin winter, from Prairie du Sac and Madison out to Baraboo, Spring Green and the Dells.
