Press Release Montreal, QC – October 27, 2015

Canadian Wintersports Incorporated of Montreal, Quebec, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Scioline Rode di Rodeghero Roberta & C. snc of Asiago, Italy, to act as the exclusive Canadian distributor of Rode Ski Wax & Rode Accessories. Rode Ski Wax was founded in 1972 by Rodeghiero Rizzieri but its roots go back to the mid-1930s when the younger Rodeghiero, also known as “Rode”, began mixing waxes at home and testing them in his own races. “Rode” won 7 Italian Championships during his race career including the 18km and the 50km Nordic races and the nordic combined events. In 1948 “Rode“ raced in the St. Moritz Olympic Games with a severe flu and a very high fever but still managed a 14th place finish. During the mid-1950’s “Rode” spent his time preparing skis for the Italian national team. Rode is a heritage wax brand, one that continues to be operated by Rodeghiero’s family and cherished by the ski community worldwide. It is important to note that Rode Ski Wax has been in Canada for over 20 years thanks to the dedication of Bernie Sander of Lazl. Bernie has grown this brand to where it is today. There are very few Canadian skiers, coaches, or wax technicians who aren’t already using Rode products in Canada. Canadian Wintersports wishes to recognize that significant effort and remains humbled by the work Lazl has accomplished with Rode Ski Wax. Canadian Wintersports Incorporated (CWS) is a privately owned corporation specializing in the distribution of quality Nordic products. All of the products we import are from European based companies who are experts in their respective fields. We only represent brands that are extraordinary.
