Optimise your wax-free skis

Are you looking forward to cross-country skiing, but don't like to struggle with different waxes? Then a pair of waxless cross-country skis could be for you! In this article, we'll tell you more about how to get the best ride with a pair of waxless cross-country skis.

What is meant by herd-free?

The waxless cross-country skis look like a traditional cross-country ski, but have a skin that sits along the attachment zone of the ski. The skin thus replaces the function of the attachment wax and you don't have to spend as much on waxing.

The skin is made of a fibre-like material and its ease of use makes it perfect for all types of skiers. The great advantage of a pair of waxless cross-country skis is that you can always be out on the trail in no time. They require almost no preparation and work just as well in all conditions!

If you're very used to a classic cross-country ski and how it feels when it's waxed, it may take a couple of rides before you get into the new technology of waxless cross-country skis. After that, you'll quickly realise the benefits of being able to hit the trails in no time!

How to optimise your wax-free cross-country skis

To make the most of your wax-free cross-country skiing experience, we'd like to share a few tips for you to consider before you hit the trails.

• Continuous cleaning
• Maintenance of the dermis
• Sliding roller for best glide
• Removable binding
• Replace the epidermis

Continuous cleaning

Make sure to keep the ski skin clean from any dirt in the track. Otherwise it will wear out faster and give less grip.

Maintenance of the dermis

Continuous maintenance of the dermis prolongs its lifespan and prevents ice formation.

Sliding roller for best glide

Just because they're called waxless cross-country skis doesn't mean you can't wax them. On the contrary, we would say! Optimise your skiing by giving them even better glide with your favourite wax!

Removable binding

Depending on the trail conditions, you may need to move and adjust your position on the ski to get the optimal grip and glide. Using a removable binding allows you to optimise your ride for the day's conditions. Move the binding forwards for better grip, and backwards for better glide.

Replace the epidermis

After a while, the skin of the ski will become worn out and provide less grip. Then you simply replace it with a new one! Consult an expert to get the best model for your skiing style.
