Abstract (English)	A lack of dirt-repellency and hydrophobicity makes fluorine-free ski waxes less efficient on very dirty and/or wet snow. To impart these fundamental properties, we combine tailored micro structuring of the ski base with a newly designed ski wax, which introduces additional molecular structuring.
