This must be the most expensive wax I've ever seen! Can it really be that much better than a generic $2 bar at the cash register of any snowboard shop? Will it allow you to traverse that flat spot without pushing every time? I'd certainly try it if I didn't have to pay for the stuff! Gift me?
"Unlike downhill skiing where you are just fine without poles, you won't get anywhere (okay that's a tiny bit untrue--you just won't get far) without poles. I'm liking the look of these poles, perfect to add to my Olympics inspired quest to start cross country skiing again."
"No matter how expensive your equipment is, without the appropriate preparation it's next to useless. Wax is your friend. Ski wax that is ready for a variety of conditions, is definitely your friend. So bust out your old iron and get ready to wax."
