What Is Phantom Glide? The Permanent Ski Base Treatment, Explained.

What Is Phantom Glide? The Permanent Ski Base Treatment, Explained.

Apply Once, Never Wax Your Skis Again

You know the feeling. It's a sunny March afternoon, the top layer of the snow starts melting and your skis stick. Or it's a frozen January morning, and you just realized that you haven't waxed your skis this season yet. Phantom Glide fixes that with one application, and we'll apply it for you so your skis ship to your house ready for countless seasons.

What Is It?

Phantom Glide is a permanent base treatment, not a wax. Wax only sits on the surface of your base and wears off after a few days on the mountain. Phantom's tiny molecules soak deep into the base material, then get cured with UV light so they bond permanently. The result is a base that sheds water and keeps gliding all season long.

Why Add It To Your New Skis?
  • There is zero work on your end. By having our techs apply Phantom Glide, you don't have to worry about getting your skis waxed at any point during the season.
  • Treat your skis once and get better glide for the life of the ski. No more seasonal wax appointments.
  • The snow in Upstate New York and the East in general can go from straight ice sheets in the morning to spring slush. Phantom gives you consistent glide across the cold, the warm, and everything in-between.
  • Steady, predictable glide means fewer surprise grabs and easier turns.
  • Phantom Glide contains no PFAS or fluorocarbons and doesn't wear off into the snow.
Good To Know
  • You can still wax on top of the base treatment if you want. Phantom's testing shows wax actually lasts longer on a Phantom-treated base.
  • Your skis will still need regular tunes for edges and base structure. Phantom handles the glide, not the edge structure.
We Apply It For You

You don't have to do anything other than add it on during checkout! When you add Phantom Glide to your order, our techs clean your bases, apply the treatment, and cure it on our in-house Phantom cure station. Your skis come to you treated and ready to ride.
