2 & 3 Day Skiers:
Tuesday: Classic! Although not as cold as last week, it will be cold, so bundle up! Parents, we really need a Walker Building Monitor this day to help kids warm up inside- please sign-up on the Sign-up Genius in my last post.
If you have klister on your skis, be sure to take it off before practice! Here is a link to a great video by Boulder Nordic Sport: How to Clean Klister from your Kickzone
While the ski-specific product known as “fiberlene” is great, old rags work just fine too. Paper towels will do in a pinch, but the true champion of this process are the good old blue “shop towels” available at many hardware stores.
Kick wax: Wax the night before! Use Toko Green or X-treme Cold or Swix Special Green. Anything for about 10F should work. If you can, iron in your first layer as a binder and follow with 2-3 more layers corked in. We will have wax benches out as usual at practice if you can’t do it before hand or if it needs to be altered.
Thursday: Skate! Possibly Hot Chocolate if a Parent signs-up to help make it (Sign-up Genius Link)
