A Waxing Inspiration

Dr. James E. White

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.

Friday

Okay so the posts have been lacking...

Kick: Swix Universal Klister before 9.30am, Swix Red Klister after

Glide: CH 8 before 9.30, CH 10 After

Also the best skiing is in the morning in the afternoon you wont move and will just divot the trail for the next morning so set your alarm. Classical is okay later but skating after the thaw each day just wont work well...
