Red Creek Riller - Christmas tree pointed +5º / -5º

Red Creek Riller - herringbone pointed +5º / -5º embosses a sharper herringbone pattern for moist, fine- to medium-grained snow.

When zero conditions become compact: The sharper +5/-5 structure works well when the snow is moist but still relatively fine, and the track is starting to become shiny or glazed.

How to use the product

1. Finish waxing, scraping, and brushing the ski before applying the hand structure.
2. Place the tool in the direction of the arrow and pull it from tip to tail with even pressure.
3. Use moderate pressure. In very moist conditions, an additional controlled pass can provide more effect.
4. Do not rill the waxable grip zone on classic skis.
5. Finish with a fine nylon brush, and preferably compare against an unrilled ski.
