Cont'd:Grip wax produces this traction by allowing the rough edges of snow crystals to penetrate the wax layer just enough to grab hold of the ski when it is stationary and weighted. It does not keep the ski from gliding smoothly when already in motion.

An important point to consider also is the concept of 'traction'. Click on link:

Carmen Schultz Aug 24, 2007:
Actually, the asker did not post the second term in the heading, so it is really a moot point here: Kudoz questions should include only one term per question. In any event, it apperas the two terms may have been used synonymously after all.
Carmen Schultz Aug 24, 2007:
Right, but there is some anchoring that needs to happen on some level in downhill skiing
MoiraB Aug 24, 2007:

Note that the example given above is for cross-country skis to prevent you slipping downhill backwards. The context here is downhill skiing (mentioned in other questions by asker), where such an anchoring system sounds a bit dangerous!

hold/grip

I think this is merely another way of describing how the ski grips on the ice, so accroche would be fine for grip and hold for ancrage.

Peer comment(s):
agree MoiraB : or edge hold/grip, but for me edge hold and edge grip are synonymous. BTW what are you doing skiing on ice, Claire?? ;-)

Yes, I think they're synonymous too - presumably hence the /. And I'd much rather not ski on ice, but when you do, you're certainly glad of good edge grip and/or hold! Give me nice groomed snow any day!
agree Cervin : Hold/grip seem fine here. They are certainly trying very hard to sell these skis! I just like a pair that does as they are told!

anchorage/anchoring (anchrage)/grip (accroche)

je pense que le mot 'anchorage' ou 'anchoring' marche pour 'anchrage' et ta solution por 'accroche' (grip) semble bien

Peer comment(s):
neutral MoiraB : grip OK but anchoring has nothing to do with skis. Your examples aren't relevant to skis either.

Actually, I went over & beyond what asker wanted by giving an additional definition to another term NOT in the heading for anchrage, so technically you needn't comment on that one, only on accrocher(grip). Kudoz rules allow only one term per question.
