• Answer:

  yes a board need to be waxed. The wax helps it slide on the snow. The edges also need to be sharpened. A new one would have been done at the factory and should be rewaxed abut every 5-8 board days. Take it to a ski shop to have it rewaxed and the edges sharpened. Or if you board a lot you can do it yourself (need about $150 worth of gear if you do the edges. waxing can be done relatively cheaply with an iron and some wax) to wax it you buy the appropriate temperature wax, melt it onto the base with an iron, smooth it out with the iron and scrape it off with a plastic scraper.
