Zach Caldwell was in Trondheim working with Davide Mosele from @starskiwax at the 2025 FIS World Cross-Country Ski Championships. We decided to pick the incredibly popular and undeniably invaluable Nerd Files founder's brain on what he saw and learned on the ski prep side of things. Of course, the conversation naturally went down a few rabbit trails on wax, grinds and ski brands before concluding with a quick recap of Caldwell Sport's neutral support at the Rikert Eastern Cup earlier this winter. As with any Zach Caldwell podcast appearance, this is a must listen. Enjoy!Our supporters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EnjoyWinter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Atomic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sporthill⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
