With the weather getting colder, you may be looking for ski waxes and equipment to get you on the trails. Club members can receive 25% off at Skiwax.ca! The coupon code will be emailed to members. If you miss the email, please contact us. If you aren’t looking for equipment, we still encourage you to check out the great instructional pages for waxing tips.
For those not familiar with this site, this company is owned and operated by Andy Shields, a former WRNSC member. He grew up skiing with our club, rising through the Jackrabbit and Junior programs, before attending the Thunder Bay Training Centre. He eventually represented Canada at the World Junior, World U23, and Senior World Cup races. While Andy now lives in Thunder Bay, he continues to support WRNSC and we encourage you to check out his site.
We recommend that families have access to their own grip waxes. Andy offers a great starter grip wax kit that should (hopefully) cover most of the snow conditions you’ll encounter: https://skiwax.ca/products/rode-canada-kick-kit
For families – if your skier has skis that are smooth from tip to tail, he/she will need kick wax. If he/she has skis that have physical grip areas (ridges or scales) underneath the binding, grip wax is not required.
