I'm with Max on this one. It's about the law of dimishing returns. I wax, I scrape and brush just enough to keep the ski conditioned and so that they won't stick. There will still be times when I guess tomorrows temps incorrectly and if so and if I have too soft a wax on for really cold temps the skis will not glide all that well. Are you telling me that you get up each morning and take the snow temp and then wax and scrape and brush before going out? If not, you can still get stuck with skis that won't glide all that well.

Again the question is how much extra time and effort actually pays off in an improved skiing experience. Most days I can hardly notice that I just waxed versus the day before when I hadn't for a few days. If the difference was huge I might wax every night, but it isn't.
