The Noquemenon Ski Marathon race day is approaching fast! Are you racing this weekend? Give yourself the best race possible by getting your wax dialed in. Toko just released the early wax recomendations, so it's time to get fast!

NOQUEMANON SKI MARATHON Noquemanon Trails, Ishpeming to Marquette, MI -- Saturday, Jan 24 9 A.M., 50k/25k, Freestyle technique Wave start, point to point

Forecast/Conditions: Friday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around -18F. Saturday mostly sunny and cold, with forecast race temperatures -12F-0F. Significant amounts of recent snowfall at very cold temperature leading up to the event makes it most likely to be dry and fine grained.

Glidewax: Apply HP Blue Hot Wax, sprinkle on X-Cold Powder, iron in together, scrape and brush. Sprinkle on Jet Powder Blue, make two passes with iron at 180c, let cool, scrape and brush using the copper brush and polish with a merino wool roller.
Gripwax: Roughen base with 150 grit sandpaper, iron in Nordic Base Wax Green, cork smooth, let cool. Then apply 2-3 layers of Nordic GripWax Blue, corking smooth between layers. Cover with 1-2 layers of Nordic GripWax Xcold depending on race distance, corking smooth between layers.

Structure: A very fine structure with no additional hand structure will best suit these conditions.

Looking like it is going to be a cold race so if we can help make you more comfortable please stop by and check out our warm layers, wool socks, face tape, head coverings, and toe/hand warmers!
