Care of new skis
I just took delivery of a new pair of G3 Tickets. Do I treat them the same as a new pair of cross country skate skis? IE Wax several times with CH10, scrap and brush after each waxing, then wax with the wax of the day? Summer storage with a thick coat of CH10? Or something else? Thanks in advance, -- Andrew Hall (Now reading Usenet in rec.skiing.backcountry...) |

For recreational skiing having the "wax of the day" is far less important than for skating. I stick with universal waxes for the most part. The other thing you might want to investigate is having the skis properly tuned. This means getting a flat base and the edges correctly bevelled. G3 does not have a great reputation for the quality of the tune coming out of the factory. _ Booker C. Bense |
