Every thanksgiving I make my way to my cottage near Parry Sound to see family, eat, sleep, recuperate a bit, and as always do some ski training.
Zero skis have a rubber inlay in the wax pocket zone that needs to be prepared before skiing. Rubbing the base of the ski makes the hairs, which lie in the base material, stand up. These standing hairs provide the grip needed for wet/zero snow conditions.

Kris was 20th today in the World Cup opener in Gallivare. It is (by his calculation) his best-ever points race in a 15K individual start skate.
Kris had a great start to the season skiing with the winner for the middle 10 km of the race. It generally takes a while to really get into the flow over here. 45seconds back is a good race for the second week in Europe.
Norway came away with the men's and women's victories Sunday as the first World Cup of the season wrapped up in Gaellivare, Sweden with men's 4x10K and women's 4x5K relay races.
