STRUCTURE

Stone ground skis: Medium structure. Remember to use hand structure on stone ground skis for better glide.

SWIX Structure Tool: 0,75 mm linear structure (imprint roller that gives straight structure with light presure).

GLIDE – Alternative 2

Iron in one layer of DHP-4 Fluor free marathon powder alternatively TSP6 at 160°C. Let cool off. Scrape off with a Plexi Scraper, and brush with a SWIX Bronze or Steel Brush.

GRIP

1. Sand (rub) the grip zone area with #100 grit silicon sandpaper (SWIX T330 or T0011).

2. Iron in a thin layer of VG30 basewax and let the ski cool off.

3. Apply 2-3 thin layers of VP30.

4. Apply 2-3 layer VP40 (blue). The amount of layer depends of the ski height.

SKIN SKIS

If you are using skis with integrated skins we recommend to clean the skins with N22 Skin Cleaner and then use N21 Skin Boost to improve the skins glide properties.

This is our recommendation for today’s conditions in the Vasaloppet track.

We wish everybody a nice trip!
