It’s looking like a great weekend for ski racing up in Craftsbury! For this year’s New England Club Relay Championships, here is a brief wax recommendation for both skate and classic skiers.
Glide: Whether you are skiing a classic or skate leg, prep your glide zones by beginning with a layer of Blue or Green glidewax. Scrape and brush this layer, and then apply Toko HF Red, Swix HF8, or another mid-warm range HF or LF of your choice. Scrape and brush before the race on Sunday!
Kick: Depending on how much the snowpack thaws and re-freezes between now (Thurs) and Sunday we could be racing on klister. It’s best to prep kick zones by ensuring they are totally clean and non-sticky. Then, wrap some 100 grit sandpaper around a cork or other flat surface and lightly abrade the kicking area.
Plan to arrive with your array of kickwax and klister, and the MNC wax boxes and coaches will be on-hand to supplement and provide support!
