Racing the Teton Ridge Classic?
Check out the wax tips from Dan Streubel, local racer & Toko Tech team member.
Forecast/Conditions: Friday overnight low of 19 with chance of 1-2” of new snow. Saturday temperature at start low 20’s with a high of 24 and 80% chance of 1” of new snow. Expect cold dry snow conditions with minimal glazing on a moderately firm machine groomed track.
Glidewax: Apply BP Blue Hot Wax, scrape and brush, then apply HP Blue Hot Wax, scrape and brush.
Gripwax: Roughen base with 150 grit sandpaper, iron in Nordic Base Wax Green, cork smooth, let cool. Then apply 3-4 alternating layers of Nordic GripWax Red, and Nordic Grip Wax Blue, corking smooth between layers and finishing with Blue.
Structure: A fine structure covered by one pass with the Blue Structurite tool after scraping and brushing the final Hot Wax will best suit these conditions.
