Hello Scott,
You may have seen the waxing information on our webpage already but it's at
http://www.north-stars.org/waxing.htm That may help answer a few questions.
I don't think that there is anything you can do to prevent the leaves from
sticking to the kick wax. It happens all of the time and even the pros have
the same problem. It's also frustrating skiing along, then hitting a leaf,
slowing you down to a crawl in an instant.
The solution may be to re-groom the trails and create some fresh snow cover
over the debris. This obviously you have no control over. But for a $15/year
trail pass, Dane County could get out and re-groom more often. Just how
often do they groom?

Subject: [XC] waxing advice needed - leaves!
Hello XC Gang!
I'm new to the world of wax-able classic skis, and recently I've been
frustrated by all the leaves and crap in the tracks. What do you pros
do for kick wax in these situations?
I gave up trying to ski at Elver -- the tracks in the wooded areas
are horrible. Even in the wide open spaces at Odana there are
still areas with lots of leaf debris.
Thanks for any advice you can offer...
-Scott, who prefers to not post his Tuesday night Elver race times,
because, well, I'm slow
