Stone Grinding

• Stone grind only ~ $60.00 per pair + $10.00 for shipping

During the 10 years of ownership of our Wintersteiger Micro 1 machine, Trail Sports has worked closely with the National cross country skiing and biathlon teams to determine the best grinds for various conditions. These grinds are offered to the general public.

Stone grinding (with proper subsequent treatment) will assure optimal glide for your skis because:

1. The skis will become absolutely FLAT, both longitudinally and cross-wise.
2. The newly exposed fresh base assures better wax absorption.
3. The ski base will have a uniform structure (pattern) geared to snow conditions by your choice of grind.

Trail Sports offers the following grinds:

• Very Coarse - for wet snow conditions
• Coarse - for above zero snow conditions
• Medium - for zero and near zero snow
• Fine - for the widest range of conditions
• Very Fine - for cold fine snow
  

SWIX Hot Boxing ~ SWIX Hot Box

Hot boxing allows skis to absorb a greater amount of wax than standard ironing methods by holding the skis at computer controlled temperatures for a period of time. It has been stated that hot boxing for a few hours is the equivalent of 30 coats of wax applied with an iron.

Fast Trax offers the following hot box options;

• Basic Hot Box
  • One layer of soft, penetrating, Swix Hot Box specific wax, scraped and brushed.
  • $25.00 per pair
• Performance Hot Box
  • One layer of soft, penetrating, Swix Hot Box specific wax, scraped and brushed;
  • Two layers of Solda World Cup Red wax ironed into the ski to cap the soft hot box wax, scraped and brushed.
  • $50.00 per pair

Note: All new skis purchased from Fast Trax receive one free Basic Hot Box with as well as receiving free mounting.
