Wax call
For Far West Skiing, Inc U10/U12 Championships this weekend Squaw Valley: Start with Dominator Wax Anti Stat Warm Old Snow, rub down dry, then apply Dominator Race Zoom Old Snow or any equivalent Red wax from HOLMENKOL, Swix, Toko, or Dominator. Bring Dominator Butter rub on for second run if water is perking through the snow.
Remember these are 8,9,10 and 11-year-olds. At this age, more time can be shaved with a great push out of the start, versus any wax application so don't go too crazy!
