Snow sticking to topsheet

Unsure the year, model or manufacturer, it was covered with snow and as it delamed I was moving onto the lift and laughing my ass off (not outwardly of course). The guy was all decked out in what looked to be new or at least close to new stuff, so I bet it was not terribly old. It was terribly undone though.

The lift lines, getting stuck on lifts when others fall flat and the crowds on the slopes are why I’m starting splitting myself. Less rude and more solitude.

I’ve tried glopstopper wax and some silicone spray. Both seem to work equally.

I realize that this is an old thread but there is now a product made specifically for this purpose – preventing snow buildup on topsheets. It’s called Snow Shed Wax and they make an anti-stick spray that can be used for topsheets, skins, and bindings. Check it out at http://www.snowshedwax.com

SkateBananas, good to hear from you again and thanks for the feedback. We are in the process of adding a customer review widget to our site as other people have raised this concern as well.

There are some good consumer review reviews on backcountry.com and a few solid magazine reviews on the site, especially from the Adventure Journal. Hope you’re getting some snow!

Spray on turtle wax. Apply the day before the tour and buff dry. Worked well in wet snow on my NS prospector.

More importantly, the day of touring let your board sit outside to acclimate to the outside air temp before you strap in. If not, that latent heat due to the board being stored inside a warm environment will melt the snow on the topsheet and collect more fluffy white stuff.

the carbon fiber weave has a bumpy texture compared to traditional topsheet materials which are usually very smooth. the snow just gets stuck to it something fierce.
