12 days of Swixmas
What every nordic skier needs under the tree.
1. T73110 - Performance Waxing Iron Every skier needs a high quality wax iron especially designed for ski waxes and ski bases. The T73 Swix wax iron fits the bill perfectly. With an 8mm plate for even, stable temperature distribution and manual temperature adjustment indicated in Celsius, it is easy to correctly wax and care for your skis properly.  2. Having a stable and secure platform to wax and scrape skis is a must. The Swix XC Waxing Profile is a lightweight profile that easily adjusts to ski sizes from 150cm to 210cm. Now, the whole family can use the T0793 to work on their skis. Adjustable legs are also available making the XC Waxing Profile the perfect traveling ski bench.  3. T0192O - Oval Fine Steel BrushSteel brushes are long lasting and efficient. The oval fine steel brush is the ideal "pre-wax" brush that will remove dirt and other foreign substances that may accumulate on the ski base during skiing and will open the ski base allowing for better wax absorption. 6 to 8 strokes from tip to tail using light pressure is recommended prior to glide waxing.  4. T0196B - Combi "Turbo" Brush/CorkThis does it all for your Cera F Solid applications. The natural cork is used for corking in Cera F Solid blocks while the short, fine nylon bristles efficiently remove excess Cera F, making your skis rocket fast!  5. T0403 - Economy Structure Roller Tool Fine tune your ski base structure pattern for all snow conditions! The T0403 comes with the standard 0.5mm broken-V roller and 9 additional rollers are available. It is simple and easy to change rollers as snow conditions vary, allowing any junior or master racer to have the ideal structure for every snow condition.  6. VG030 - Blue Base Wax To be used as the first layer for all hard waxes in new and fine grained snow. VG30 is rubbed on just like a normal kick wax, within the kick zone of the ski. Use a waxing iron to heat the wax into the base, then smooth evenly with a thumb or cork. Let cool, then apply the kick wax for the day.  7. KB020 - Green Base Klister Spray
Klister wax made easy! To be used as the first layer for all klister waxes in old and coarse grained snow. KB20 is sprayed evenly on each side of the groove within the kick zone of the ski. Distance between the ski base and the nozzle should be 4-5cm. Use a thumb or klister cork to smooth the klister. Let cook, then apply the klister of the day.  8. KR035 - NEW Special Violet KlisterFor frozen corn and wet corn snow conditions from 0ºC to -4ºC. An ideal mid layer klister on top of KB20 and underneath KR60, KR70 and KN22 Klisters. Prevents softer klisters from sliding backward off the kick zone.  9. FC7WS - FC7 Solid "Cold Turbo" For all snow types between 0ºC and -20ºC. Can be ironed in or corked in with a natural cork. Removal of BW lubricant provides improved performance in cold snow conditions. Can be used alone or as a final "accelerator" layer.
 10. N0002 - Zero SprayPrepare your Zero skis correctly with Swix Zero Spray! 100% fluorinated spray helps prevent icing on fresh, moist snow around 0ºC. Apply one thin, even layer on each side of the groove within the special "Zero" inlay of the Zero ski. Let dry for 2-3 minutes after application.  11. I0084 - Cleaner/Conditioner for Racing SkisCleans, conditions and solves flouro compounds all in one easy process! Apply cleaner with Fiberlene, brush with white nylon brush while wet, wipe clean with Fiberlene and let dry for 5-15 minutes. Brush with pre-wax brush and the skis are free of dirt, excess flouro compounds in the ski base and will now more readily accept glide wax.  12. RE003 - Insulated Drink BeltA new twist on an old favorite! Holds 1 liter of liquid that will stay warm or cold with the insulated drink bottle. Comes with a zippered pouch on top for extra wax storage or to hold a spare, dry hat during long ski tours Swix's complete wax matrix takes the guesswork out of waxing by creating a specific wax for each condition. If you know the air temp, relative humidity you can select Swix's perfect wax no mixing, magic recipes, stressing or slow skis required.

Creating Champions and Building Bridges
Wood River Abilities Program
10th Annual Cross Country Development Camp
From Jan 31st to Feb 6th the Wood River Abilities Program (WRAP) will bring in adapative athletes to the Sun Valley area to take part in a power-packed week of cross country instruction and training with some of the best adaptive coaches in the country. Historically, many of these athletes have been proficient at other endurance sports prior to taking up nordic skiing. WRAP offers them instruction from current and past USST coaches and athletes. Many of the camp participants have continued on to excel in cross country and/or biathlon and earn a way onto National and Olympic Teams. Chris Klebl, Monica Bascio, Greg Mallory and Andy Soul are four athletes who were aided at the beginning of their ski careers by WRAP and went on to national and international success. Recently retired from ski racing, Mallory reflects, 'If it weren't for WRAP's camp, I would have missed out on seven fantastic years of racing on the US Ski Team."This winter's camp will have between 6 and 10 athletes. The camp is free to all participants and some scholarships are available for travel. The camp will be held at the same time as the Sun Valley Nordic Ski Town USA winter festival and will culminate with optional participation in the Boulder Mt. Tour 15km or 30km race. For more information about the WRAP Cross Country Development Camp contact Marc Mast at marc@woodriverabilityprogram.org instead; or WRAP.
