Need A Little More Grip #1

After preparing your skis with kick wax you may find you are close with your choice of kick wax but need a little more grip. Here is a suggestion:

1. Add one or two more layers of the same kick wax to kick zone from where the ball of your foot is forward of the binding by 8-10 cm.
2. Cork just this added area smooth. Do not blend it out across the whole kick zone

This is sometimes called "feathering" the kick wax layers. Feathering keeps thicker layer from dragging in the snow. Yet at the same time the thicker layer will add just a little more grip. Both ends of the whole kick zone do not get the additional wax to reduce drag.
