The trails in the park are fantastic
Skis (skate and classic) that I pick up from the stores on Thur. Feb. 16 and skis that I have received from athletes, will be ground, waxed and returned to the stores by 6 pm Friday, Feb. 17.
We have a great choice of performance skis at great prices
… perhaps the best choice in the region.
We also have a great selection of waxes, tools, equipment and clothing on sale.
If you need you skis tuned, waxed or hot-boxed we can help you too!
Greg Christie’s is the closest full service cross-country ski shop to the Nakkertok South stadium.
We arguably have the best high performance choice of cross-country skis at the best prices in the region.
Madshus, Fischer, Salomon and a full line of waxes, tools and clothing
We are about 12 kilometers and 20 minutes away from the race stadium.

There will be SUBSTANTIAL savings on the full Start wax line for that night only.
At Greg Christie’s, we have used Hot Box Technologies for over 6 years.
Maybe it’s time to bring in your skis get them hot boxed and prepared for the season after all that skiing on damp grass and ice-covered parkways in November and December.
Hot boxes are generally used to get soft glide waxes such as yellow deep into the base. Once this has been accomplished, it is important to wax the ski with a hard wax such as blue to harden it up.
Otherwise the base will be so soft, it will be white after just a few km in cold snow.
Here’s how to use the hot box to get good penetration:
1. Wax the skis with a soft wax such as yellow.
2. Put the skis in the hot box at 62C for 6-8 hours.
3. Let cool completely. Scrape and brush.
4. Iron in blue, cool, scrape, brush, and repeat.
5. Wax with the wax of the day.
