PHANTOM Glide Releases New Nordic Formula

Glide, the permanent, single-application base treatment for skis and snowboards, introduces a new Nordic formula that creates a permanent glide surface that performs across a wide range of snow conditions and can be enhanced with traditional wax for heightened performance in specific snow conditions. PHANTOM Glide Nordic creates an environmentally friendly foundation for all Nordic skis and provides a permanent hydrophobic coating that bonds to the base material preserving base health and improving glide in most conditions compared to traditional waxes.

“For the everyday Nordic skier and racer, PHANTOM Glide Nordic is an essential component to your ski preparation and maintenance. PHANTOM Nordic-treated bases stay healthy and retain glide performance in a broad array of conditions,” says Billy Demong, Head of Strategic Product Development at PHANTOM Glide. “For me the best part is that I don’t have to wax. PHANTOM protects the base from drying out or having the pores close. I wax when I want the best glide I can achieve for racing or for some extreme conditions, like really cold, dry snow. But if I don’t wax for an extended period I can rely on the great glide that PHANTOM Nordic provides.”

PHANTOM Glide and PHANTOM Glide Nordic are a permanent, wax-free treatment applied just once to the base of skis or snowboards. The treatment bonds deep into the base material and allows Nordic athletes to eliminate the time-consuming and intensive process of waxing except for when it is absolutely necessary. PHANTOM Glide provides increased glide for the lifetime of the ski or snowboard and possesses no environmental harm or harm to humans. For maximum efficacy, it is recommended that customers take their skis and snowboards to an authorized PHANTOM Glide dealer with a PHANTOM Glide “Magic Box” cure station.  

“With PHANTOM Glide Nordic, I can save time and money on frequently waxing my skis and save the wax for race days knowing that I have an effective foundation for glide on my ski bases.” says Demong. “Simply put, PHANTOM Nordic has been a game-changer for my Nordic performance and ski prep.”

PHANTOM Glide Nordic is available in a bulk spray specifically designed for dealer application.
