The Real Wax Pocket!

For the vast majority of you, your wax pocket was determined by someone at the local ski store when you were looking at classic skis..
They put you on some skis that had a smooth surface underneath, and slid an object, perhaps a piece of paper, underneath roughly where the wax pocket should be. When it caught both towards the tip and then towards the tail that was the wax pocket. You weighted your feet equally and then you flexed one of your knees to see if you could have your weight grab the piece of paper at the toe area. Perhaps they had some squeeze instrument that measured ski closure and they went off your body weight.
The easiest way to determine your wax pocket is to put a thin layer of the appropriate wax and go ski. When have you skied long enough to wear the wax off, maybe an hour should about do it, stop and take a look at your bases. Where is the wax that is still left? That is your real wax pocket. This wax pocket will move as your technique improves. We will look at other factors to change your wax pocket at another time.
Now get out there, ski, and have fun.
