PHANTOM Glide is a base treatment for alpine skis, Nordic skis and snowboards. It’s eco-friendly, consistent, long-lasting, and easy to maintain. Unlike traditional wax, PHANTOM bonds to the base and doesn’t wear off, eliminating the need and complexity of regular waxing. It contains no PFAS or fluorocarbons and is safe for you, and the environment.

If you’ve ever felt stuck on flats, worked harder than your friends to keep up, or experienced drag in snow, you’ve felt poor glide. PHANTOM Glide keeps your skis or snowboard performing consistently across all snow conditions, so you can focus on skiing and riding, not on waxing.

PHANTOM Glide bonds to the base of your skis or snowboard using a UV-activated curing process. Here's how it works:  

1. Application: PHANTOM Glide is applied to the base of your skis or snowboard in a liquid form. This allows it to bond to the base material, ensuring continued performance. 

2. UV Activation: After application, the treatment is exposed to UV light, either using a PHANTOM Glide Curing Station (20 minutes) or natural sunlight (1 hour in direct, unobstructed sunlight, >7C / 45F / UV index of 4 or higher).  This UV exposure activates the bonding process, causing the treatment to fuse with the base material.     

3. Long-Lasting Bond: Once activated, PHANTOM Glide bonds with the base of your skis or snowboard. This bond is durable and resilient, meaning it won’t wear off like traditional wax.  

4. Enhanced Performance: The result is a base that offers superior glide performance across virtually all snow conditions without the need for regular reapplication. The treatment is designed to work in a wide range of temperatures and snow types, providing consistent, smooth rides.  

5. Environmentally Friendly: PHANTOM Glide eliminates the need for reapplying wax, which can introduce harmful or unnecessary chemicals into the environment. This makes it both a convenient and sustainable choice for eco-conscious riders.
