ALPINE SKI & SNOWBOARD PREPARATION

STEP BY STEP - RACE PREPARATION
This is a general description used by top level technicians.
1.
Scrape off travel wax with a plexi scraper.
2.
Brush with the Steel Brush (T179).
10-20 strokes.
3.
Polish the base edges with a Hard Gummy
Stone (blue, T0995).
4.
Polish the steel edges with the Fine Diamond
Stone (TAA600).
5.
Apply the race wax for the day. For cold conditions
use first CH3 to protect base burn by the
edge.
6.
When using LF4, HF4 and CH4, the harder, brittle
waxes for colder temperatures, scrape the
excess layer while the wax is still semi-soft to
avoid chipping of the wax later.
7.
When the skis or board have cooled, or allowed
to stand overnight, scrape once again with a
sharp plexi scraper (T0823) using light strokes.
Scrape the excess wax from the sides.
8.
Brush the base with the Steel Brush (T179).
