Wax and Race Support
We offer coaching and wax support at every CXC Junior Cup weekend.
Coaching Support:
One or both coaches will be at each race weekend to help with logistics, ski selection, race timing, prep, tactics and a familiar face to ask questions and get support. This service is free to all NorthXC and DXC athletes.
Wax Support:
The most important things to consider when racing CXC Junior Cups is wax support. Coach Joe is a fantastic wax technician and will be at every CXC Junior Cup race. He offers a waxing service for NorthXC and area athletes. This service takes the stress and burden off parents, athletes and friends to wax appropriately for the day. The wax service is fee based. This service is not required.
