Glide Wax
Race Wax: Brush skis with Swix Med Bronze Brush (T162) tip to tail 10 repetitions.
Kid’s/ Junior Racers: A good choice for fast skis and your parents wallet is Swix CH6. If your parent’s spoil you then Swix LF6 is even a better choice.
Apply Swix HF6 or even better HF6BD (BD will help with the wind blown abrasive snow – although the temps are rising we have had very cold temps and snow will be dry and abrasive). Iron in, 5 seconds tip to tail x 3 repetitions. Cool ski 5 minutes and then scrape and brush with Swix Med Course Brush (T162) x 10 repetitions tip to tail followed by the Swix Blue Nylon Polish Brush (T160) x 10 repetitions tip to tail.
Structure: Swix Super Riller T401 with .25mm linear rill. Apply rill after you have finished scraping and brushing.

They call it the “Challenge” for a reason. If you are not up to it, just remember the Russians will be here in March to kick your soft American arse.
