Boulder Nordic Sport News
 
Birkie Fever is here and BNS has it! We've spent the last week getting geared up; the BNS Mobile trailer is already out in the Midwest and we've got a whole pallet of wax, tools and gloves on its way to Hayward for the Birkie Expo. Our Expo booth is going to be even bigger and better than last year with wax and tools from Holmenkol and SkiGo as well as SkiGo gloves, made famous at last year's Birkie.
 
In other news, it is Presidents' Day Weekend and we figured it just wouldn't be right not to have a Presidents' Day Sale. We've got skis, boots, poles, and clothing up to 30% off! Check out our Facebook page for all the details. Like us on Facebook
 
Seems like we're not the only ones with the Birkie Fever.  We've seen our Birkie Race Wax Service slots filling up faster than ever before, but we've still got plenty of room if you haven't signed up yet. Click here to register and see below for information on when and where to drop off your skis and how to pick them up before the race.
 
The BNS Mobile Service Crew has been in Hayward testing wax on the Birkie Trail for weeks and we're continuing to test and update bouldernordic.com with the latest test results and recommendations.  Check in throughout the week online or visit us at the Expo to get the latest scoop.

We're also very much looking forward to teaming up with our friend Randy Gibbs for his help and much-valued expertise during the Birkie week. Randy, who is on a break between World Cups, will be helping out with our Race Wax Service, Gold Medal Wax Service and will also be leading our World Cup Waxing Symposium this coming Tuesday.
 
Happy skiing and we hope to see you out in Hayward!
 
--The BNS Team

 

 

 

   BNS Birkie Race Wax ServiceBirkie



BNS Mobile will be at the American Birkebeiner Feb 22-25 with a full service team providing wax sales and brand-neutral race waxing service. Treat yourself to a full race wax application by our pro service team so you can relax and focus on your race, or just drop by the Expo to find out what wax is running fastest and stock up on whatever wax you need. We will be testing all brands of waxes to find the fastest solution.  BNS will post wax updates to Facebook and bouldernordic.com  as well as at BNS Mobile and the Expo.

Details

Our race service is $85 and includes base prep, LF & HF paraffins, pure fluoro topcoats and hand-structure.  For classic skis, we will iron in a binder layer in the kick zone you designate, but we will not wax with the final kick wax layers. You will want to apply those race morning to achieve the best results.  We will test kick waxes, provide recommendations, and sell you kick wax if you need it, but you will have to apply it yourself race morning.

 

Ski Drop Off
Please get your skis to BNS as early as possible in order to allow us to do base prep and deliver your skis on time and without stress.  We will have a drop off in Minneapolis at Wirth Park Tuesday from 5-7PM in front of the Chalet as well as in Hayward on Thursday at the Expo. 

 

Please deliver skis to us clean and scraped.  Print out your receipt and bring a copy with you to drop-off. Make sure skis are labeled with name, cell phone number, and the event you are doing.

   World Cup Waxing Symposium & Gold Medal Wax Service 

   with Randy Gibbs chambo


During a break in World Cup action this winter, World Cup Service Technician Randy Gibbs will join forces with Boulder Nordic Sport (BNS) for the American Birkebeiner. Gibbs will add his extensive experience to the BNS Mobile Race Service Crew for their Race Waxing Service. To take advantage Randy's seven years of unique experience waxing skis for top athletes, BNS will host a World Cup Waxing Symposium and offer a special Gold Medal Wax Service for the American Birkebeiner.

 

The World Cup Waxing Symposium will be held at Hopkins High School in the Minneapolis area on Tuesday, February  21 from 7-9pm. This clinic will provide an intimate setting to master every step that goes into creating the best possible skis in the world. Topics will include ski and grind selection, glide wax and fluoro application as well as kick zone preparation from sanding all the way up to wax selection and application. More than just a lecture, participants will get hands-on experience under the expert supervision of Gibbs and the BNS Tech Team.  All attendees will receive a special email on the day before the Birkie with race-specific waxing instructions and be entered to win a drawing for a signed World Cup bib, a Holmenkol structure tool, Ski Go wax and a free BNS World Cup-level Birkie wax service. Cost for this event is  $250 until registration closes on February 20. Limit: 40 participants.

 

In addition to BNS's highly-successful Mobile Race Waxing Services, BNS and Gibbs are launching a new Gold Medal Race Waxing Service that will provide the same level of ski service that Gibbs provides to athletes on the World Cup circuit. Gibbs will evaluate each Gold Medal skier's race fleet and then help participants select two pairs of race skis by testing on the Birkie trail Thursday or Friday before the race. Gibbs will then apply the full World Cup Wax and structure treatment to two pairs of skis for race day. Only eight spaces are available for this Gold Medal service, so sign up today! Cost for the Gold Medal Race service is $350, available at the American Birkebeiner only.

 


 


BNS MobileMobile

BNS Mobile travels to the largest cross-country ski events in the US offering professional race waxing services and sales of ski wax, tools and accessories on-site. It serves as the base of operations for our experts to bring World Cup-level service to the US racing scene. We'll be doing brand-neutral wax testing and recommendations as well as support of the wax brands of Holmenkol, SkiGo, Guru, Magnar, Rex and others.

 

While your competition stresses about which wax to use, where to get it and how to apply it, you can relax after you drop off your skis with our professional service crew.  Like a World Cup racer, you'll pick up your skis race-ready with the best wax and structure applied so you can focus on your race.

  

Like to do your skis yourself?  Drop by BNS Mobile and ask us about the latest test results, get advice and grab whatever wax you need at our mobile store.

 

We're excited to bring our experience to you in the field and we hope that you use our expertise to have more fun skiing and produce better results with less stress.
