We are on snow!!!
JHSC U14, U16 and FIS teams skiing at Loveland in Early November
After a long summer and fall with physical conditioning and skiing in Austria and Colorado we are finally skiing back in Jackson.
All of our 200 athletes will be skiing in early December. Right now we are skiing at JHMR with all programs except Rockchuck. Conditions are good and will only get better!!
At this early season we will pay attention to having fun, safety and skiing fundamentals. As Snow King opens we will progress into gate training.

Race schedule changes:
With no snow in our area we were forced to make some changes to our home event schedule. We moved Elite FIS race to December 19th to 22nd and we moved Sean Nurse to February 12th to 15th. We had to do that to get couple more days to make snow and make sure we can have safe and quality races.

SWIX December Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the 2021-22 winter season!
SWIX is again, very happy to partner with your program to bring you the most comprehensive collection of ski tuning gear and performance waxing supplies to meet your budget and performance level.
For 2021-22 SWIX continues to advance the PRO Fluoro Free wax line-up… SWIX is one of the few wax companies to offer a three-tiered wax system to meet your tuning budget and performance level. The SWIX PRO Wax System is, of course Fluoro Free, but also bio-degradable, non-toxic and ECO friendly. However, the best part of the SWIX PRO system is its FAST!
SWIX has spent the last two years perfecting our recipes for our PRO Fluoro Free Wax System through an industry leading, International Test Team. This team is comprised of a Nordic and Alpine staff that is continuously testing, modifying, and re-testing formulas to make sure our new Fluoro Free waxes outperform our old, Fluoronated Cera Nova waxes, that people know so well.
That’s right! The old Cera Nova Wax System has been used as the base line standard for speed! The PRO Wax System is regularly outperforming the fluoro waxes! As of today, SWIX has conducted over 800 field tests confirming the performance of the new PRO Wax System.
The New PRO Wax system is very similar to the old Cera Nova structure- Here is the overall system replacement-
- TS or Top Speed waxes- Replace HF
- HS or High Speed waxes- Replace LF
- PS or Performance Speed waxes- Replace CH
TS waxes- When every 10th of a second counts.
HS waxes- Race wax on a budget.
PS waxes- General training waxes.
Additionally, the PRO Fluoro Free Wax System comes in three easy to use applications. PRO Liquid, Powder, and standard Paraffin applications.
- Paraffin- The standard “bar” waxes you know so well (40g, 180g and 900g).
- Liquid- HS and TS liquid application (for best result buff with SWIX Roto-Fleece).
- Powders- Easy to use, SWIX Marathon (Black and White) TSP (Top Speed Powder).
SWIX took a system approach to cover all the options for our users. Price point, application and top performance are always at the front of our thought when creating the fastest product possible.
SWIX continues to push the new PRO Wax System and new products are continually being developed and introduced to our line. Please look to future SWIX emails for new products and fast, Fluoro Free additions!
Thanks, and SWIX is looking forward to helping you achieve your racing goals for the 2021-22 season!
