  WAXING RECOMMENDATIONS

 

For kick and glide wax recommendations, go to SwixSport and click on the "Wax Wiz" link on the top of the navigation bar on the right hand portion of the web page.  If you use other wax brands other than Swix, Eagle River Nordic's website has an easy to use web page recommending what they've tested and determined are the best wax brands/types for various temperature, snow, and humidity conditions.  You can get the latest and greatest temperature and relative humidity data to guide your wax selections by viewing the Creston AGRIMET Weather Observation web page, as this is the nearest real-time, online weather observation site to the BCNC site.  The Blacktail Mountain weather station is the best real time weather data for the Blacktail Nordic Trails.  You can also see snow depths and recent temperatures from the Blacktail SNOTEL Site.

 

If you would like some good advice how to wax and prepare your bases for the conditions, Sierra Nordic's website has some very good technical tips how to get the best glide out of your skis.
