Tip: Waxing Cross Country Skis
- Start by cleaning the skis thoroughly, removing any dirt or debris with a ski brush or scraper.
- Select the appropriate wax for the current snow conditions. Warmer temperatures and wetter snow typically call for a softer, more flexible wax, while colder temperatures and drier snow require a harder, more durable wax.
- Apply the wax to the skis using a wax iron, being careful not to overheat the skis. Move the iron in a slow, steady back-and-forth motion to evenly distribute the wax.
- Allow the wax to cool and harden for a few minutes before using a plastic scraper to remove any excess wax.
- Use a nylon or horsehair brush to polish the skis, creating a smooth surface that will glide more efficiently on the snow.
- Repeat the process as necessary, depending on the snow conditions and how often you use your skis.
- Finally, don’t forget to wax the tips and tails, they are important to protect the ski from damage and prolong the life of the ski.
Kami Rita is a Machine!
What else do you call someone who peaks Everest 26 times?
I still don’t think much of the rich tourists who blow a hundred grand to say they did it, but Kami is legit.
