WITH LIQUID WAX, THERE'S NO EXCUSE NOT TO WAX YOUR SKIS!
Cross-country skiing is first and foremost a sliding sport, so it's essential to take good care of the soles of your skis to get the most out of them on the slopes.
Waxing helps reduce retention (suction cup effect) and increase glide.
With liquid wax, all you need is 20 seconds per ski and you're ready to go!
HOW TO WAX YOUR SKIS?
Before applying the wax, ideally clean the base of your ski with a brush.
Then apply the wax using the pad, and leave to dry for 10 minutes.
Once the base is dry, you can polish the wax using a nylon brush (soft bristles).
If you're in a hurry, you can go skiing straight away once the wax is dry.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR GLIDE WAX?
The trick to good waxing lies in choosing the product best suited to the weather conditions of your outing. The waxing of your skis will depend on the duration and frequency of your sessions, but also on the quality of the snow in terms of air temperature. It's this temperature that will determine your choice of wax "color".
Each wax "color" corresponds to an ideal temperature of use.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIQUID WAX AND SOLID WAX?
Solid waxes nourish the sole more and last longer. But it takes about 20 minutes to wax a pair of skis. Conversely, the application of a liquid wax is much quicker, but it won't stay on the base as long.
Our advice: start with a solid wax at the beginning of the season, then alternate between liquid and solid waxes during the season, and finally finish with a solid wax at the end of the season, which you leave on the base during storage.
WHEN TO WAX YOUR SKIS?
When you buy your skis, we recommend that you prepare the base of your skis to achieve optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are recommended to "nourish" the base.
Then wax your skis regularly, depending on the duration, frequency and abrasion of the snow during your last outings.
Remember that, overall, we recommend waxing your skis every 70 to 100 kms or so.
Don't wait until the color of your base is whitish before waxing it!
