Backcountry Skiing Page Of Roger J. Wendell
backcountry skiing No Crowds. More Nature. Warning! Climbing, mountaineering, andbackcountry skiing are dangerous and can seriously injure or kill you.
http://www.rogerwendell.com/skiing.html

Extractions: Waxless skis usually have little fish-like "scales," on the bottom (beneath the boot binding), to provide traction for forward motion. Depending on local ski conditions they generally work okay. Waxless skis can be rented everywhere and are useable by almost everyone. However , my experience has been that traditional skis, that require waxing, are superior in the long run. Although waxless skis require almost no maintenance, they do, indeed benefit from glide wax at times. Also, waxless don't seem to do any better when going up hill - I can usually keep up with somebody on waxless, while using my waxable skis, if I've applied the correct temperature of wax. And, of course, "skins" (a friction fabric attached to the bottom of each ski when going up steep hills) beat waxable and waxless on terrain only snowshoers can access. Finally, everybody agrees that waxable skis are vastly superior on flat terrain, and when going down hill. Those using waxable skis can "kick and glide" with substantially less effort than those on waxless skis. Also, you'll find that so much less effort is required with waxables, while going down a slight incline, that you can some times just drift along motionless while your waxless partner is kicking, poling, pushing, and panting to maintain forward momentum.
