Waxing

Ski waxing is part of art and science that can help a skier have a successful season on snow. Below are some basic guides to help you understand the terms and options for nordic ski waxing. Always ask a coach or an older skier for any questions you have.


Recommended Glide Wax Kits

Pioneer Midwest is recommending some excellent options to use not only this season but in future seasons as well.  There are many liquid spray waxes that are high quality and can be used in lieu of an iron and wax bench.  These liquid waxes, along with the listed brushes are what Pioneer Midwest is recommending to teams and athletes.
