This year we will be supporting Cornerstone in their Social Initiative Program. This program helps women to gain confidence, self-esteem, learn new life skills, a sense of accountability and belonging and ownership within their residence community. In a sense, it is a precursor to a job readiness program. It also adds dignity and opportunity into the lives of the residents.
Suggestions for your wax supplies
From left to right
Waxes, Toko recommended because its roll up feature makes the waxes easy to use and the waxes have wide temperature ranges. There are other brands of ski wax, all good.
– base wax, sometimes referred to as binder wax. Use this on grip zone before applying kick or grip wax. Helps grip wax to stay on ski.
– blue, in a good year we ski with blue wax most days
– red, for slightly warmer days
– yellow, for warm days.
You can also get a green wax for cold days and klisters for icy days.
– cork for smoothing grip wax
– scraper for removing grip wax
– ski specific solvent for cleaning skis especially grip zone. Do not use other solvents. They may leave a residue.
– liquid glide wax, two sizes shown. Use on grip or kick zone of fish scale type “waxless” skis. Also, can be used on glide zones though not as good as having the glide zones hot waxed.
– brush for renewing, refreshing glide wax.
Not shown, small piece of fine sand paper and small sanding block for preparing grip zone
