Ski Tuning

The old Toko structurite kit was valued by many competitive and sport minded nordic skiers, but eventually fell from favor at the elite level once superior performance was gained with other products. Same name, the Toko Structurite Nordic Kit, but this...

Wax iron for skis and snowboards come in wide range of price, and for the unschooled home ski maintenance person it is hard to understand why a professional would pay several hundred dollars for one. The biggest difference is temperature control at the...

No, Swix isn't trying to recycle old bedroom slippers. Nor are they suggesting that your ski bases need a soft and loving caress. This dense rotobrush made of Merino wool fleece is the latest in applying ski paraffins to the ski base, or for a final...

If you only have one rotobrush to work on your skis, this could be the one. Not as aggressive as other rotobrushes but nearly impossible to damage a ski base. Ideal for finishing work, and for first glide wax removal it just takes a bit longer - but...

With fluorocarbon phased out it sometimes appears that, at least for grip waxes, the ski wax chemists have come up with products that are better. Rex has long had their Powergip stick waxes that were respected for their wide range, resistance to icing,...

Clean skis are fast skis, and glide waxing alone often just dilutes the dirt. And while ski glide paraffins can make a ski fast they are notorious for picking up any contaminant that is in the snow. Swix I84 Glide wax cleaner is a spray liquid solution...

When the snow is new and cold the Red Creek -5/-10 diagonal structure is one of the most safe hand structures to use. Almost certain to not be a liability, and more certainly to be an asset. Optimal choice in the blue range of fresh snow Oblique pattern...
