Classic Ski Structures

XTi-0 - At its best in cold, dry snow (-10 °C to -20 °C), this grind is commonly used by clubs in Northern Ontario and Quebec. When needed, this grind can be extended to all temperature and snow conditions by using hand structure.

XTi-2 - This grind works in a variety of snow conditions from approx. -5 °C to -15 °C and in February, it works in old snow to -20 °C. This grind is the best option for the Canadian Ski Marathon and the Gatineau Loppet.

Li3 - A linear structure that continues to be an excellent grind in temperature and snow conditions around the freezing point. As a result, this grind is recommended for wet snow/klister classic skis and for 'Zero Skis'.

SLC03 - This grind is a wet snow/ slush/ spring conditions grind.

XTi-1 - Similar in pattern to the XTi-0, but with a little more structure. If you are not planning on racing in January in cold, dry snow conditions (-15 °C to -20 °C), the XTi-1 would be a good choice as a wide range grind that can be extended to warmer conditions by using hand structure.

Li2 - This grind has a pattern similar to the Li3. It works in a range slightly colder than the Li3.

Cost - All the grinds listed on the menu are $75.
