Product Description:
An essential resource for serious skiers.
Nat Brown was the official U.S. Cross-Country Team and U.S. Biathalon Team waxer for two Olympics and five World Championships. With this book, he offers a systematic course on choosing the right skis and preparing them for optimal performance.
Emphasizing simplicity and practicality, Brown guides skiers through all the techniques-basic to advanced-needed needed to produce fast skis. He covers the basic mechanics of skis and wax; all the factors that can affect a ski's speed and how to minimize or eliminate them; and advanced topics such as testing and repairs. Illustrated with b&w photos.

This book gives a very complete lesson on ski prep. It is easy to read and well indexed, serving as a shelf reference when needed.

If you get a chance to observe someone else actually go through the procedure of ski prep, this book will complement your lesson extremely well.

The book is for all people in cross country skiing, not only for trainers, also for competitors, for every serviceman and for all amateurs. Only someone who has such a experiances from his work can write a book with knowledge for all. Or like Peter Hale wrote:" Since few skiers can just walk into a World cup or Olympic waxroom to see what's going on, this book is the next best think." I think that all we working in CC skiing can say just:" Thank you Nat for such a great present!"
It's ... Read More

This is really the only waxing book for serious skiers. Perhaps a bit much for a novice. Given evolving waxing technology the reader will have to also read the latest wax company literature to stay up to date.
