The bad news is a section of Nordic Center trail goes along the highway through gritty gray snow. To find the kick-wax zone, stand on the skis and slide a piece of paper under the foot area. However far forward or back you can move the paper is the kick wax zone. Waxless skis are also available. They are handy for people who classical ski without racing.
Smart wax means burning less energy to get the skis going, making for more fun on the trail.
Waxing can become a fun rite, too, but try not to inhale. And I like the smell, but it's bad for you. Cheap paraffin waxes are at the bottom of the wax scale, while then top line is Fluorocarbon . . . All material found on Utah Bound is copyrighted The Salt Lake Tribune and associated news services.
