New skies - what wax to use when it is -20°C?



My wife got me new skies for Christmas – and I am very-very happy! I had some short trips out on them together with Rygh Jr (who got his first skies for Christmas) as you can see on the photo. But it is very cold in Norway these days giving new challenges for those of us who want to ski. You need to put Wax under the ski, and the different types work between different temperatures. And today I need to get some Green Wax. So I’ll have to get out and buy it… But buying wax isn’t as easy as it was before. But Swix have an online wizard that can help you - Swix Wax Wizard.

Buying skies has been more complicated too. I had to try several skies before we found the ones maching perfectly my height and weight. And we had to decide if I needed Classic or Skate. I really like to skate, but as I like to bring one of my sons in a Pulk – using a more classic ski is easier. So I decided for the Madshus Birkebeiner Classic Carbon. They are just perfect!
