Going to the Birkie and want the fast skis? Don't want to stay up Friday night waxing and worrying about which wax to use?
Bert and Kevin will be travelling back to God's Country for the 2012 American Birkebeiner and with the help of Mike Mappin from (Solda Canada/Canmore Nordic Sport Services), we will be testing waxes and prepping skis for Saturday's big race.
Every wax tech knows that Solda tends to run VERY well at the Birkie, so much so that it has been on the overall winners' skis many times over the last decade. Now you can have your skis waxed just like the PROS!
Your skis will be prepped according to conditions and testing results, but odds are it will include a base wax/low fluoro wax (such as Solda UF7), a low to medium fluor wax (F15/F31), a high fluor wax (Solda F40 Carbon), and a top coat (like Solda HP05). We will also use hardeners, anti-statics, or accelerators if the conditions call for it (think S30, S20, PowerJets). We will also be using the Finite Structure Tool to make sure that your skis are as fast as possible.
We will be limiting the Professional Race Waxing to 30 pair, so sign up soon.
Skis should be clean and dropped off at the Solda Waxing Truck or to the Solda booth at the Expo on Thursday. The Expo is open from 1-9PM. Skis MUST be dropped off by 10 AM on Friday (the Expo opens at 9AM). We will not be able to accept skis after 10AM on Friday.
Classic skis will be waxed (tip and tail) and will have a base binder ironed into the base. The kick wax of the day will be left to be done by each skier (so get to the start early enough to put on your kick wax).
For your convenience, skis can be picked up on Saturday morning at the SOLDA WAX TRUCK which will be up at the START area.
Our Birkie Race Prep is $75 in advance, or $80 at the event (if there are any openings left).
