Cross Country Ski Tools & Ski Maintenance Equipment

Care for Your Skis with Cross Country Ski Tools

Essential for cross country skiing enthusiasts, these tools ensure your skis are optimally maintained for peak performance. If neglected, ski bases can degrade over time. Diverse snow conditions introduce varying temperatures, moisture, and dirt, all of which can impact the grip and glide areas of your skis.

Maintaining cross country skis involves waxing, scraping, and brushing. To clean residue from the skins of classic cross country skis, a cross country skin cleaner is essential. If you're exploring our waxing products, check out the Kick Wax and Glide Wax from our extensive wax range.

Proper Brushing Technique for Cross Country Skis

Once waxing and the majority of excess wax removal using a ski scraper is complete, it’s time for the brushes. Cross country ski brushes are effective in eliminating wax that remains beyond the reach of a scraper while improving the base structure to enhance ski performance.

Employing long sweeping motions, brush from the tip to the tail with moderate pressure. You should observe small wax particles gathering at the end of each stroke. Continue brushing until no wax dust is visible. In frigid temperatures, a nylon ski brush is preferable, while a brass ski brush is optimal for warmer conditions. Completing the brushing process with a horsehair ski brush is beneficial in any weather.

If your waxed classic skis are underperforming in wet and warm snow, lacking grip, consider using Klister Wax. It provides additional grip to the kick zone when snow conditions are slick.
