On our recent Silver tour, Ted and I both ended up with completely soaked skins after only about 2000' of skinning. I had applied Swix skin wax right before I left home- didn't seem like it helped.
Try Rain-Ex. Spray on liberally and then wipe down with a cloth. Sometimes, I also spray some on the top sheet as well as the binding.
It's the best product I've found. I used some last weekend and it worked great.
Good luck!
