I was an xc ski racer in high school and college, but I had a brief (4yr) post-collegiate career as an alpine ski, snowboard, and telemark instructor.

I can talk about xc trail systems until your ears fall off lol

I was at the Portland Gear Hub today, and they had a handful of ancient crusty half used kick wax sticks on the shelf for $1. I couldn't help but think of my dad's ancient klister-encrusted waxbox, and him pulling out random shit and being like "Bill Koch won an Olympic medal on this wax, someone could use it"
