The Redline Classic Cold is a world-class classic ski for racing in cold, new-snow conditions. This ski works best when waxed with thin layers of hardwax, as the camber is low and long to maximize the surface area of the wax pocket and help maintain easy access to grip even when the snow is loosely packed, as is often the case in new and falling snow conditions. To further optimize for these snow conditions, the pressure zones of the Redline Classic Cold are relatively long, helping to distribute the skier’s weight more evenly and reduce the local pressure of the base against the snow. As with all our other Redline classic skis, the camber of the Redline Classic Cold is developed to react dynamically to the force you generate. The wax pocket is designed to remain open during double poling for near-frictionless glide, and to close symmetrically from both the front and the rear of the pocket. Doing so means that your kicking force is better distributed across the whole wax zone helping to maximize the total grip force that can be generated, resulting in better grip the harder you kick!
