Probably not the best thing for the environment to spray your top sheet with something just to clear the snow off.
Try going a bit faster. |

Good point moo.
I take it you walk to the hills.
Hike up the mountain, then board on an unwaxed plank from a sustainable forest?  |

I have some of that Branny. £25 for 15ml, it's amazing stuff. PM me.
You'll go faster when you actually do manage to slide somewhere too!
I call it Waks  |

I just use silicone spray. Costs bog all and lasts forever. It depends what type of snow you're riding on, sure, sometimes you don't need it. I don't put it on the board, but I spray my bindings and boots. Often they'll have it in a rental shop if you don't have any: it's standard stuff.
You're most likely to get ice build-up if you've temperature differences, like riding in a heated heli for example.
As far as the board itself is concerned, the bottom's more of an issue than the top. Even with a good wax you'll get ice. You just have to scrape this stuff off - that's why you brought a credit card sized scraper with you.
Well, you did ask. |
