Wax For Sunday

Posted by

Hello Ski Fans,

Great work today! That was fun. Tomorrow could be a variety of waxing challenges. There is a good chance that it will snow tonight up at Telemark which would probably rule out Klister. I would recommend preparing your grip wax in the morning. Make sure your grip zone is clean incase Harries are the best solution. If there is no snow the wax will definitely be klister. The coaches will do a little wax test and advise what is the best grip at 8:30 am. I will bring some wax benches etc. for people to use. Any warm glide wax will do the trick.

You are expected to know your race courses for Sunday so please study the maps in the previous website post Here!

Thanks,

Adam Elliot
