We will be updating our waxing recommendations with more details as there are new forecasts and weather predictions before the race. These recommendations are lined up for each of the racing days this year.

Glide Wax

Base Wax: We encourage everyone to apply a base wax that is cold and hard to get the most out of your wax. This layer mitigates dirt throughout the race and makes sure that you still have wax in your skis throughout the duration of the race.

Paraffin Layer: The paraffin layer is a more temperature specific wax in order to gain both durability and a good base to rely on when your top layer starts to wear.
