When Is Rex Blue Glide Wax Fast?
Rex blue:
-Very old snow 10-15F, and even down to 5 F start if the temps are

-Fine grain 15-20 F

Prepping for Races
Christopher,
I've come to the conclusion that tapering for skiing doesn't work for
me. I just get flat. If you have not been racing, I wouldn't worry
about tapering. You may just de-condition. I...

MN snow
After what seems like a decade of no early snow, we finally have early
season skiing. I kind of hate to say anything in case I jinx the whole
snow mojo thing. Cyclists had their time; it's our time...

German Training Plans
I think it all comes down to motivation. If you're motivated, the

Roll Out Start?
Dave,
You bring up a good point about skiing backwards on the course. With
Seeley, you're skiing a km on trail that is not used for the race. I
never thought about your situation.
As for the Bear...

move them. If the finish is 1K from the...
