Similarly one may ask, why are my skis so slow?
Far and away, the most important factor in having fast skis are the skis themselves. If the skis have a high camber and a short area of contact in cold, dry, and slow snow, the wax and structure can still slow the skis down further, but the skis will not be very good regardless of how optimal the other two factors are.
