They are now JetStream High Speed (used to be New Snow) in Block and Powder and JetStream High Speed Moly (used to be Old Snow) in Block and Powder. Prices have remained the same. Base Prep, Grey (60g) is a new wax for travel waxing and working on skis with. A 60g block has an MSRP of $10. Express wax now comes in sachets (single application envelopes).

The new 100ml size has an MSRP of $14.60 and will be far more convenient for those skiers who want to bring the wax with them while skiing. It also includes a polishing pad on the bottom.
Vises
Ski Vise World Cup, Repair Fix, Compact Vise, Board Grip, and Repair Fix Jump all have new graphics. Board Grip is also more versatile as the board can be gripped when sliding it in sideways to tune edges. The prices on these items have remained the same. Ski Vise Nordic is a new travel vise that has 3 parts and is very small and easy to travel with. It contains tip and tail supports that are longer than other similar systems on the market for less compromise. The Ski Vise Nordic has an MSRP of $100.
Edge Tuning
The Edge Angle Pro now comes in 86 degrees.
Base Cleaning
GelClean is now a spray! This highly successful product is now even easier to apply and use. Just spray it on, let it sit for a minute and wipe off. The Gel form stays on the ski and works into the wax, much better than wax remover. GelClean retails for $11.80
Cross Country Ski Gloves

TheWomen’s Thermo is a Gore soft shell glove with a women’s specific cut (narrower throughout) and has an MSRP of $49. The highly successful Classic glove has been revamped. TheClassic Mesh offers an improved feel to the already legendary famously fitting glove and is available in Black/Smoke and Lava/Smoke for MSRP $37. The Trend glove is back! TheTrend will make an impact this year with improved Black/Smoke graphics and a $34 retail price tag. In addition to the Thermo+ for Kids model, theBasic glove now comes in size 3 (Youth small).

Care Line
Textile Proof is a waterproofer that is especially effective on gloves and jackets. The technology used does not hinder the treated garmets ability to breathe like most waterproofing treatments.
