ZARDOZ

The birth of Zardoz® can be attributed to one man, Paul Ramer. Paul was an avid backcountry skier, mountaineer and inventor, infamous for his passion and ingenuity. Somewhere in garages and attics all across Colorado are prototypes of avalanche beacons, telescoping ski poles, bullet proof binding systems and specialty backcountry boots.

​

Ramer’s never-ending quest to find new and better products led him the science labs at DuPont. Here he worked with scientists to develop a liquid fluoropolymer that could be used on the base of skis and snowboards. Tragically, Paul passed away in March of 2000 at the age of 56. Still, his spirit lives on in his final discovery, Zardoz BASE BOOST.

The non-toxic, non-flammable, color and odourless BASE BOOST formula, provides a coating for the base of skis and snowboards to improve glide and reduce friction. The result of this is more speed on slopes and flats, less effort required for turning and reduced wear on the base of skis and snowboards.

Zardoz BASE BOOST can be used instead of wax or ideally over wax to increase its longevity and the intervals between waxing. Each application takes less than a minute and provides a day of high-performance skiing or snowboarding. It can be used in all snow conditions but the wetter the snow the better!
