For east coast/midwest snow and man made snow, especially groomers, I wax nearly every time I go out. You can tell by the appearance and feel of the bases.
For the bikini line I wax every 4 to 6 weeks Quote:

I use this paste and the liquid wax, from Slidewright.
I start with a hard wax to assure that I have a good base wax and then do touch ups with the liquid and/or paste wax to save time, especially when I'm on a trip. The trick is to either brush or cork the bases when you're done. Smoooooooth!
One thing that we have against us in the Midwest and East is the granular type of snow which acts somewhat like sand paper and wears off the wax, which then causes base burn. Powder days are a dream for the bases. Little abrasion and little chance of needing new wax.
For those who are interested. Here's a video of Doug Coombs with his waxing technique. Enjoy!
