Solda Wax Recommendations

I wish I was in Michigan. Bet you don't hear that one too often for a guy who lives in Bend, Oregon. The Michigan Cup Marathon sounds like a great race.

Here is what I can determine from the local and national sources.
Overnight low 2F.
Race start temp 12F rising to 21F at 12:00
Humidity 95% descending to 75%
New, cold, slow, lake-effect snow with 30% chance of snow showers during the day.

My best recommendation is as follows:
Pick a pair of cold base skis with a fine grind that are not too stiff. Start by crayoning on a layer of SOLDA HC28. Cover this with SOLDA F15 Blue ironed and scraped. You could apply a second layer of F15 Blue or a layer of SOLDA F40 Green. Finish with the SOLDA HPO5/S30 50/50 mix. The humidity, snow temp and crystal structure all lead me to use the HPO5 mix. The S30 hardens the bases and helps maintain the glide for the long races.

A thrifty alternative would be a base of SOLDA HC28 and SOLDA F15 Blue. Add a cover of SOLDA S30 if you have it.

I hope you have a good race.
