Determine the balance point of the skis and mount the bindings with the rear elevated binding pins across the balance point., Most ski, and bindings offer in- structions. Skis should always slant forwards when held by the installed harnesses. Use great care in drilling holes. They must be accurate and not too deep. Apply epoxy glue to screws, which fasten bindings to synthetic skis, to guarantee that no ripping out of bindings will occur on the trail. Ski Base Treatment Remove the factory base coating on wooden skis with sandpaper. Apply a pinetar, either cold or warm, with a spray or brush, to seal the wooden bases from moisture. To prepare your synthetic ski bases, affply a paraffin alpine or cross country glider wax over the entire base. Once crayoned or dripped on with heat, iron the wax smooth. Allow it to cool. Scrape the ex- cess off with a plastic or metal scraper and polish the base smooth. The 'hairy' fibres on some P -Tex bases will disappear through this process. Some companies factory -treat P -Tex bases thereby eliminating your need to do it. They are ready to wax the moment you buy them. Waxing Basics The essence of waxing is to provide grip and glide. In order to obtain the necessary grip, wax must accepT partial penetration by snow crystals. Your weight and forward motion will cause the snow crystals to melt. ,Your skis glide on a thin layer of moisture resulting from the melting process. Apply thin layers of wax to the base and spooth each layer with a cork. This provides for a polished surface conducive to improved glide. Not advi§tdis an extremely thick layer of wax, roughly smoothed, which could break off in chunks, resulting in diminishing grip and glide. Thin layers should be applied in all.snow conditions Test your wax for a couple of hundred feet to deter- mine if it will be suitable. If not, add additional layers or remove the wax completely and try again. Wooden bases require that they be waxed from tip to tail in order to provide adequate grip and glide. An additional layer of some 50-70 centimetres in length under the foot can contribute towards better grip. Synthetic bases need only be waxed under the foot area. Tips and tails can be left as is as the synthetic material provides a good glide. Waxing tips and tails of synthetic bases using glider or alpine paraffin waxes will further improve the speed. Before coating any waxable skis, bases should be clean and dry in order for the wax to adhere properly. .A good waxer is one who frequently waxes and cleans his bases, whether wooden or synthetic, who experiments with various types in varied conditions and who records his findings. To learn the basics Of a colour-coded dry wax system: green, blue, violet, red, yellow, and various coloured klisters, stay with a single brand. Learn how each colour works- in varying temperatures before trying other brands. Master the use of cork, scraper, torch and rags, and how to apply dry waxes and klisters. Dry waxes should be crayoned on. Klisters, which are very sticky and are available in tooth'paste-like tubes, should be applied warm, andspread by hand or plastic spreader, using additional heat if necessary. Cold klister is very difficult to spread You may add a softer wax (for warmer tem- peratures) on top of a harder wax, but never the reverse. You can always add waxes to match in- creases in temperatures by putting softer waxes over harder waxes. Combinations of two to four waxes at a time are possible. However, should the temperature drop you can't add a hard wax on top of the softer waxes. You must first clean the ski before applying the harder variety. Waxing can be enjoyable. The pleasure of a properly gripping and gliding ski is worth the effort. And, a correctly waxed ski will out perform a no -wax ski. Ski Cross Country is prepared by CANSI and sponsored by Molson.
