Birkie report from Fasterskier.com sponsor TorbjornSport/SOLDA
A large number of SOLDA skiers reported having great skis with TorbjornSport’s 2004 Birkie wax suggestions
SOLDA Glide wax can only be purchased through mail-order from TorbjornSport (<www.torbjornsport.com ).
Not being available in stores makes SOLDA a “small†wax company, however low cost, an easy to use system, waxes for every condition and great glide makes SOLDA live up to its slogan “The fastest skis at the lowest costâ€. It’s time to try SOLDA.
SOLDA user Italian Roberto DeZolt was third overall in this year's Birkie. He was less than 1 second from winning and reported having great glide.
Justin Wadsworth (12th overall) gave us these comments:
“I waxed my Atomics with a mix of SOLDA HPO5 and Warm Fluor on top of SOLDA F-31 Orange and Violet in the evening. I heated in a layer of SOLDA Warm Fluor powder on top of this when I saw how warm it was in the morning. I had outstanding skis and felt great. I was the only skier to follow Zanatel when he broke away several times in the first part of the race. Not having raced much this year made me lack the necessary snap at the end. I still believe that my skis were (at least) as fast as the winners. I think a lot more racers will be on SOLDA in the futureâ€. Â
, tell him the snow condition and he will give you the perfect SOLDA Wax combination.</p></div><div class=)
SOLDA users are also receiving updated wax reports throughout the winter and former National Team coaches are available at TBS to answer questions about the wax. You can call or e-mail them.
SOLDA wax suggestions for upcoming races are posted on the TBS web site.
