What’s the Difference Between Base Materials (Sintered vs. Extruded)?

Sintered bases are made by compressing powdered materials, creating a more durable and faster base. They are porous, which means they hold wax better, providing more speed and better performance on the slopes. Extruded bases, on the other hand, are cheaper and require less maintenance but are slower and less durable. Advanced riders often prefer sintered bases for their speed, while beginners may be fine with extruded bases, which are easier to maintain.
