[USMA:26125] Re: Celsius thermometers

[Brian J White]

Yup..I have a Swix unit.  It's more for Nordic than Alpine waxing of 
course, but temperature is important in Alpine as well.  Being from the 
Pacific Northwest though, our winters aren't cold, so it's the same ol' wax 
every time you go up.  Not really much change in temp around here.

One might find round dial-type Celsius thermometers being sold by the 
cross-country ski wax manufacturers Swix or Toko.  They probably have websites.

In most xc ski resorts there are such thermometers on the wall outside to 
aid in selecting the proper grip wax.  The ones I have seen are in C with 
small F inside.  But they also include broad blue, green, red, and yellow 
bands to correspond to wax colors, and thus  may not be too appealing 
visually to everyone.  They are about 30 cm in diameter.
