<p>I was skinning into a yurt last weekend with my regular downhill (<a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/3341/what-is-the-benefit-to-telemark-skiing">telemark</a>) skis.

<p>Does the stickum on skins either remove the glide wax or leave a sticky residue I should be concerned about? And if so, how do I remove/mitigate?</p>
