Guru Grip Wax Sticks
Here's a term for you - "Cowboy" wax.
Decades ago, skiers were melting down and mixing available kick waxes into all sorts of creative blends., and these were often called Cowboy waxes. Some worked, most didn't, and for the ones that didn't work the skier lost out on the use of the basic material. Anyone remember "Blellow"?
Guru of Sweden doesn't actually make grip wax from raw materials, they are experts in blending and testing mixes made from available kick waxes. And many of them are invaluable and in regular use at the World Cup.
Left Coast is only stocking a small selection from Guru of some of their most unique products.
Hallgeir Waxes - the Hallgeir series is quite unique, and while they are quite specific to old abrasive natural snow or man-made snow, their versatility is impressive. When hardwaxes are in play, the Hallgeirs can be used as the primary kick layer, or as a tough base binder, or as a final speed cover. In universal klister conditions they can be great klister covers. Hallgeirs are both very durable and very fast.
Extreme Hallgeir for -2°C and -10C
Super Hallgeir for -3°C and -15°C
Guru Red. When a violet hardwax isn't gripping, Guru Red is a good choice higher up on a test ladder. Also a chameleon, as it can provide speed and anti-icing grip at times when a violet is slow or sticking. Worth trying in fine grained snow that is rapidly changing.
Red is for fine grained snow 0.0°C and -4.0°C
Guru Green might be the best Green "travel" wax. When you're going to a new location and can't carry all your kit, trust this one. While it does work in old settled snow, if snow is falling or recently fallen in green conditions this is the one to test first. Top choice in new snow but also a great speed cover over grip waxes made for old snow.
Green for temperatures 0.0°C and -4.0°C
If you've read this far you deserve to know what was in Blellow. Swix Blue Extra mixed with Rode Yellow.
