Red Creek Rillers

Red Creek "Travelling Suitcase" containing all eight rillers. Do you need all these rillers? If you are a coach of many skiers, a wax tech or working in a high traffic ski shop, yes you do!

If you do your own waxing, are a "weekend warrior" or simply want to have fast skis but don't want to spend too much money then look below and choose the riller or rillers that you would use under most conditions (i.e. if you live in Southern Ontario where you encounter warmer conditions then the Christmas Bough -5C to +15C is the ideal, wide range riller of choice. But if you live in the Yukon with temperatures often -10C and colder then the Oblique would be a must-have for your waxbox.

Red Creek has come out with a 8-piece sturdy, effective rilling system that has you covered for all snow conditions. Being that each riller is a complete tool, you can purchase one riller at a time and add to your ski prep arsenal as the need arises!!!

The following riller variations are available:

RC034 - “Christmas Bough” / “Herringbone”

For temperatures between +15°C and -5°C. Likely the most commonly used structure during late winter/spring conditions.  This riller can be used in combination with the “Rake 1mm” or the “Rake 2mm” in above-zero conditions. For these conditions use the Rake structures first followed by the Red Creek Riller +15/-5. 

RC035 - Red Creek Riller 0/-10 “Christmas Bough” / “Herringbone”

For temperatures between 0°C and -10°C.  This is likely the most common structure to be used during the winter.  Apply more pressure when the temperature is warmer.

RC036 - Red Creek Riller -5/-20 “Oblique”

For temperatures between -5°C and -20°C.  Works best in fine grained new and cold snow. Opens/“exposes” the hard polished finishes used when the temperatures are cold and the snow is hard.  Rilling with the “Oblique” improves glide when used under these conditions.

RC081 - Coarse "Oblique" Cut
For temperatures around +15...-5C. Use light pressure in minus temperatures. Repeat a few times. Press hard in warm temperatures. Often used in combination with "Rake 1mm, 2mm and/or 3mm".

RC033 - Red Creek Riller “Rake 1mm”

Is used in above zero conditions, but when the humidity is high, it can also be utilized down to -5°C.  It is often used in combination with Red Creek Riller +15/-5.  Use theRake first and finish with the Herringbone.  Under colder conditions, apply less pressure when rilling.

RC037 - Red Creek Riller “Rake 2mm”

Is used under wet and sloppy conditions and often in combination with the Red Creek Riller +15/-5 and the Rake 1mm.

RC080 - Red Creek Riller “Rake 3mm”

Is used under wet and sloppy conditions and often in combination with the Red Creek Riller +15/-5. 

RC038 - Red Creek Riller “Groove”

Used when the classic tracks are deteriorating or when skating in loose snow, and also when the conditions are wet, changing, and loose. It does not improve glide on hard packed tracks, but it won’t hinder glide either.
