Swix Marathon Powder
Best high performance glide wax for long distance competitive cross country skiers.
This is the secret weapon for long-distance racers dealing with gritty, contaminated snow. By incorporating a specialized additive to repel dirt, it keeps your glide consistent when other waxes fail. It requires a bit more effort with an iron, but the ability to reheat and reset the base makes it an essential endurance tool.
