To the OP here-
sorry if it was already covered-
"kick waxing behind scales"-
kick waxing behind your heel will not improve XC skiing kick performance, and if the wax is truly working as a kick wax, it will also reduce glide. If one needs more kick in a Nordic touring context- extend the kick wax forwards, not behind the heel.
Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.
