Question:  What does a Toko Wax Clinic, Salomon’s Head of Global Nordic Product Development, and a 20% Off XC Ski Clothing Sale have in common?

Answer:  All 3 and more can be found at Cyclova XC in St. Croix Falls this weekend of course!

That’s right, we’ve put together a big fun Nordic weekend here in St. Croix Falls!  Come on out for a ski on the only good skiable snow in the Midwest at Trollhaugen, and then drive 4 miles north to beautiful St. Croix Falls! 

This is sure to be a fun weekend for the hardcore Nordic enthusiast, as well as for the entire family!  In addition to the events happening here at Cyclova XC, St. Croix Falls is putting on the “Rivertown Holiday” festival weekend – a fun filled Christmas/Winter season festival for the whole family.

Here at Cyclova XC, we have a fun weekend planned:

Hello Everybody,

At CyclovaXC we understand that the process of preparing your skis can be a daunting task.  For that reason, we have broken up the waxing process into 7 separate wax clinics.  We highly recommend these clinics for both novices and experienced skiers as the industry standard for waxing evolves every year.  Why cost yourself valuable minutes and energy in your races by persisting in waxing your skis with last year’s methods?

These clinics are completely free and everyone is welcome to attend.  As an added bonus, you will have the opportunity to purchase wax and waxing tools at a 10% discount after the clinics!

Come and join the fun folks at CyclovaXC and learn how to get everything out of your skis, your wax, and (most importantly) yourself!
