Waxing News

Just a quick update on waxing.  Experienced skiers should be waxing their skis as much as possible.  Use different temperature waxes when putting in layers.  This will keep your skis from oxidizing (turning white) and keep them fast.  Please let the coaches know a day ahead of time if you plan on waxing at the school after practice.

Beginning skiers, we will be having a waxing clinic soon and showing you how to correctly wax your skis.  Right now, it is more important that you ski, ski, ski.  The more time you can put on the snow, the quicker you will pick up the technique & balance, which will help you become a fast skier.  

Also, I (Coach Dubay) am now a Technical Representative for Swix.  Swix is the leader in ski waxing technology throughout the world.  I will be writing wax reports for High School ski races throughout the midwest.  If you have any questions regarding waxing, feel free to ask me.  http://www.swixracing.us/nordic/techteam.php
