OK, this is a strange question, and I may have to rely on some Finnish members here: I was watching a program on the Winter War between the Soviets and Finland, and was fascinated by the use of ski troops. My question is (I'm a nordic, or cross-country, skier myself) how would they wax their skis? What kind of skis would they use? Also, is this still largely taught in the military (of Finland or any other country)? I have so many questions about this, but haven't been able to find much about it. Thanks!
p.s. I think it was a PBS special called Fire and Ice, it was very interesting!
