Lest we forget, X Games standout MARIE-FRANCE ROY and Swiss sweetheart ANNE-FLORE MARXER, who’s coming off a killer 2005 rookie season. Each girl on her own has a shelf full of trophies, honors galore and has contributed to the progression of women’s action sports. Together they dominated the British Columbia backcountry, hitting off-piste trails, ramping up the level of women’s riding and having a hell of a lot of fun while they did it. redbullusa.com
Hertel Ski Waxes “Improve Performance Where the Ski Meets the Slope.” Some people look for speed, others want performance. Using the right hotsauce Wax daily is an essential way to improve both. Once the ski is in motion, you are applying pressure and exerting friction, melting the snow, and creating a fine layer of water between your ski base and the snow. Control and maneuverability in skiing is derived from altering the structure of this water. Hertel wax systems perform a special process using an encapsulation process; tiny bits of surface-active agents formulated into the waxes interact with water, decreasing surface tension and friction, plus increasing control. The wax breaks up the water (snow) resulting in easier running, better control, added safety, and more fun. When commanded to turn, skis slide with ease.
