1 1 2013

Today we used Fast Wax HS0 Extreme which rivals Start Green but is "local". For kick Rex Powergrip Blue seriously outperformed all others once again today with both durability and even initial kick. Tomorrow we are going with CH6 as the snow will be minimal and Rex Powergrip Blue. Rode Multigrade Violet covered with star blue would also work if you dont want to iron.

12 28 2012 Recomendation

Kick: Rex Powergrip Blue has been running great all week and a 1/2 inch of snow wont change that! Glide: CH4/LF6 50/50 is always good with ground ice and a dusting but the test team will be on stratight CH6.

Kick: Rex Powergrip 4 for the majority of the day and go 1 colder for early am

Kick: Rex Powergrip 4 if skiing after 10 (why get up too early) if before go one colder

Glide: Fastwax HSF Tan if you uh want to go fast, or Toko Red covered with Fast Wax Red Powder

Glazy packed conditions would be expected again and powergrip simply excels in such areas.

Addendum West

Since the new snow did not materialize Rex Powergrip 4 is the choice for the varied conditions of packed in on the front half and somewhat packed in tracks on the back.

Friday in West

Glide: Rex Blue

Kick: if the new snow in the "advisory" falls, Binder, 2 layers Rode Multigrade Violet and 2 layers of Swix Extra Blue. If the new snow does not fall Star Red or Rex Powergrip.

A Waxing Inspiration

A Memorial Road Ride is planned on July 24th at 9am leaving from 610 6th Ave South STC.

Summer Product Testing

Today the test team worked a combination of start grip tape and Swix Extra Red Hard Wax. Conditions were full sun, 3' of snow or more, firm base and had transitioned to above 32. In the few shaded areas below freezing the wax grabbed but other areas it was a good combination. Definitley worth a try if you are skiing in hot conditions in late june. Add that to your race arsenal just in case.

Ladies and Gentlemen the season has been shut down and closed for 2011. I hope everyone was able to partake in waxing information to enhance their on snow experience. Once the winds of Thor blow strong we shall again sing a song and provide waxing recommendations for you. We will see you again in late fall of 2011. Until then put the warmest wax you own on and dont scrape it off.
