Notes Final updates and practice plans for Saturday practices
will be posted by 6 pm Friday the evening before the practice. Final updates for weekday practices will be posted by 1 pm the day
of the practice. For details see the practice
plans Practice schedules: Saturday morning: 9-10:30. Please arrive
promptly, in low-snow conditions we must be off snow by 10:30 when their practice
starts. Weekday evenings: 6:30-7:30. We are the only team
using the snow Wed evening. We try to
end sharply at 7:30 so please make sure your skier is ready to go on snow at
6:30 for a full hour. No lollipops at
weekday evening practices please. Thursday
evening practices are open to General comments on ski preparation for
regular practices On classic
technique days, please come with clean skis or apply kick wax at home. Applying kick wax
at home – “stick” wax days (snow hasn’t transformed). This is pretty
easy: Gently roughen the
kick zone with 220 grit wet/dry sandpaper (if you have combi skis it is
especially important to be gentle) Apply a thin layer of
base binder if you have it and cork it in Apply 2-3 moderately
thin layers of the wax of the day, corking between each layer. If we
are skiing on natural snow, then just follow the temp. guidelines on the wax
- the normal temperature chart applies. If we are skiing on man-made
snow, then the kick wax should be 2-3 layers of the Toko green base binder
(strange but true) – if you don’t have this we will apply it at WST. Note: Doing this at home will provide
a better (more durable) wax job than we will be able to do at WST because of
the usual pre-practice rush. Applying kick wax
at home – klister days (snow has transformed, i.e. melted at least
once). This is harder, if you know what
you are doing go ahead otherwise we will help you before practice – arrive
early to practice please since klister waxing takes a while. WST = Weston Ski Track PHP = WV = GBF = Great Brook Farm |
