There is a reason for waxless skis. Someone told me to use the wrong wax and 50m into skiing I had a snowball superglued to the bottom of my ski. Getting the sticky gooeying wax off is not fun.
"Men go back to the mountains, as they go back to sailing ships at sea, because in the mountains and on the sea they must face up, as did men of another age, to the challenge of nature. Modern man lives in a highly synthetic kind of existence. He specializes in this and that. Rarely does he test all his powers or find himself whole. But in the hills and on the water the character of a man comes out." --Abram T. Collier
