Why wax cross-country skis?

Cross-country skiing is above all a gliding sport, so you must maintain the base of your skis to have the most fun on the slopes.



Waxing reduces grip (suction cup effect) and improves glide, optimising the compatibility of your ski base with the characteristics of the snow (air temperature, snow quality, etc.).



You can maintain your skis yourself or make an appointment with a professional at your workshop.

When should I wax my skis?

When buying skis, we recommend that you prepare the base well to achieve an optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are best to "nourish" the base properly.



You then need to wax your skis regularly according to: how long and how often you ski, and the snow abrasion on recent outings.

Don't wait until the base turns a whitish colour to wax your skis!

How do I choose a wax?

PS (formerly CH) = traditional FLUORIDE-FREE hydrocarbon-based wax

Recommended: for ski maintenance and regular cross-country skiing.

----

HS (formerly LF) = higher performance wax, it has hydrophobic properties, it will push away the film of water between the base and the snow. It can be used alone or as a base

How should I wax my skis?

Before applying the wax, prepare the base of your ski with the bronze brush.

Apply the wax evenly with the waxing iron on the sliding part (usually the: tail and tip, over the full length for skating), then remove the excess wax from the groove and on the ski by scraping the base with the plastic scraper.

Finally, brush the base with the nylon brush.
