Cold in Davos

Now we have packed up all the stuff in the waxtruck, which has beginning its roll towards Rogla in Slovenia now. We’ve had some really nice but cold days here in Davos. We have been able to test the classic skis for the weekend’s races. There are currently wonderful conditions for cross-country skiing here in Davos, can really recommend a visit here. Early in the morning  we start rolling towards Rogla. Will be exciting with a whole new place, which almost no one else visited before.

    Great work in Rogla! It looked like the athlets had really fast skies! I heard that the Norwegien waxcrew also have a waxing truck now, do you know if that one is similar to the truck you guys use??

    Hi!

    I heard the discussion regarding the fluor powder and the fact that it might have a negative impact on your body. Is this something that you guys protect yourself against?

    Hi Camilla, we ourselves have been involved in research on just the environment around waxing for three years now, where the University of Örebro has done the research itself. What we have done to improve the working environment is that we have our waxing truck and we have a very good ventilation in there and that we use masks with special filters. I would say that we in Sweden is at the forefront in terms of working environment for waxer. /Anders Niemi

    Hello Danie! Yes thanks it went really well in Rogla! Yes, Norway is of course a trailer which is a bit larger than our truck but I can say that our truck is much better looking! Now we charge for the tour! / Anders Niemi

WAX ON!

These are busy days for the waxing staff of the Swedish national XC team. The start of the cross-country ski season is just weeks away and the staff is currently performing a great number of equipment tests. Among many other things, the seven staff members try out loads of new skis and ski structures as well as new waxes and wax compositions.

During October you will be able to follow the daily life and busy work of the Swedish XC waxing staff here at our website. The staff members will provide you with a behind-the-scene look of their work and most surely give you some waxing advice as well.
