Wax Recommendations
Wax recommendations from shops and your favorite brands
Downwind Sports (Toko):
Forecast/Conditions: Friday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around -18F. Saturday mostly sunny and cold, with forecast race temperatures -12F-0F. Significant amounts of recent snowfall at very cold temperature leading up to the event makes it most likely to be dry and fine grained.
Glidewax: Apply HP Blue Hot Wax, sprinkle on X-Cold Powder, iron in together, scrape and brush. Sprinkle on Jet Powder Blue, make two passes with iron at 180c, let cool, scrape and brush using the copper brush and polish with a merino wool roller.
Gripwax: Roughen base with 150 grit sandpaper, iron in Nordic Base Wax Green, cork smooth, let cool. Then apply 2-3 layers of Nordic GripWax Blue, corking smooth between layers. Cover with 1-2 layers of Nordic GripWax Xcold depending on race distance, corking smooth between layers.
Structure: A very fine structure with no additional hand structure will best suit these conditions.
