Stone Griding

Slick Pro is a rub on paste wax that comes formulated for different temperature ranges. Not all of us have time to hot wax and scrape our skis for every workout. Here is a way to have fast skis in a minimal amount of time. And if you were looking for something more expensive, throw in a polishing pad to get the most durability…
