Adding an aggressive base structure for spring, wet snows reduces suction and vastly increases glide.
On the bench prepping a course base structure to harvest spring corn in 10-15 minutes:
- Wire roto brush to clean out bases
- Ski Visions Structuring plane linear structure w/80 grit Silicon Carbide sandpaper on SlideWright Structure Disk or coarse SkiVisions ruby stone
- 150 grit Silicon Carbide sandpaper on new Structure Disk to even out linear structure and to add cross hatch pattern
- Steel scraper or Ski Visions steel blade to moderate structure, high spots or “plastic hairies” if needed or desired
- Base Cleaner for topical clean after brushing
- A hard base prep & protection wax and/ or graphite. Coarse snow will wear off softer spring waxes faster. Maplus Race Base Medium or LP2 (violet/purple), Purl Blue or All-Temp
- Purl or Maplus LP2 Yellow or Orange (or combine red & yellow) butter for the wet corn
