For recreational skiing, Phantom from DPS Skis is an alternative to waxing skis. I was an early adopter after Phantom became available during the 2018-19 season and am very happy with the performance on snow. I have the basics to wax my skis at home, but it’s a chore I’m happy to avoid. I used to wax my skis 3-4 times a season when I was skiing 15-25 days, half in the southeast on manmade snow.
Keep reading if you are a recreational or backcountry skier and would consider investing in a base treatment that means not spending time and money on waxing for as long as you keep a pair of skis. Can be useful for racers too but my impression is that most racers prefer to wax their own skis. Although treating with Phantom as a foundation for race skis has proved to be useful. Works for snowboards too.
If you have Phantom-treated skis, did you go DIY or have a shop do the treatment? What do you think about the performance? Do you plan to treat other skis in the future? Be helpful to know what region you ski in the most.
