Hello Track Attack,

Glide Wax
The glide wax recommendation is:

Glide waxing is not required and will not effect racing outcomes at the Track Attack age.

Classic ski grip wax preparation
The Canmore Nordic waxing team will apply grip wax on race day. The expectation is that classic skis are marked with your child’s name and race category with a marked, clean and sanded grip zone. To find grip zones: click here. Classic race skis can be delivered to the Canmore Nordic team room Friday at 4:30, or Saturday afternoon at 1:15 at the latest. The team room is in the biathlon stadium with a #2 on the door.

Skate ski wax preparation
Skate race skis can be delivered after your race on Saturday or 1.5 hours before your Sunday race start. We will give them an extra buff on the team buffer.

How a race day looks
Details for the race weekend (arrival time, updates from the coach meeting, etc) will be posted on the forum the night before each race at about 7pm. Race start lists will be posted on Zone4.ca at about 4pm the day before the race. I will post a glide wax recommendation on Thursday using the most accurate weather forecast for the weekend. It will follow the club waxing guide and instruction for when to drop off classic skis (glide waxed by you, but clean kick zones) to the teamroom for grip waxing by our wax team.
