Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Dublin Dry Ski Slope Wax
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

My daughter is racing at the Irish open in October and we have never been to the slope before.
Anyone know the best wax to use for an u10 racer?
We are not sure whether to use Data Graphite Wax or CH4..
Are there sprinklers on the slope?
Any other general tips gratefully received.

At her age, on plastic, just use any hard wax and scrape and polish. If you want a specific wax recommendation, then http://skiracing.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21_30&products_id=659

I also strongly recommend a practice on the slope prior to race day. Has she skied other dendix slopes? If not, it will come as a shock.

Take some liquid wax ( best option ) or spray polish ( cheap ) If the sprinklers are not working well ( if they have them ) then a quick wipe/spray before each run will give an advantage.

Thanks, she has been racing all season on plastic.
I appreciate speed wise it may not make a difference at her age. More what will protect my investment in her slalom skis the best!
We have zardox and gloop. Just wondered if anyone knew any local tips!

I've used CH4 on my sons skis for dry slope at that age with a wipe of Zardoz before he leaves the gate.

Sharp edges are more important than mega slippy!

nicoledan1, Slope is in excellent condition - all sprinklers working. CH4 is spot on or as others have said any hard wax will be fine. Make sure edges are sharp and try to keep them sharp between runs. Its a very well run weekend and is also the clubs 50th anniversary so should be a great occasion.Try to get there for Friday night practice ( included in entry fee ) and Do a good course inspection;) See you there Smile

briand6868, Sprinklers were not working, on sat night! Skullie Sad Skullie Sad nicoledan1, drop me a PM, I have some dry slope specific wax you can have for free, you can pick it up at the slope from me, also run through any servicing advice you will need. Slope is steep at the top, two small roles after the steep and an constant enough pitch until the bottom a few new mats in sections, just after the steep green mats and slightly further down that are a little gripper

Thank you for all your help everyone.
The sprinklers were out in force (as was the torrential rain for practice on Friday).
The CH4 and edging must have worked well as she won the U10 Euros on Sunday!
