New Years Day
Hello fellow ski waxers.
While I did not race at the Mount Bachelor New Years Relay, I was there and had fast skis. It was around 30-32 F, cloudy, windy, snow pellets falling mixing with rain and snow, humidity 80-90%. Snow had been groomed, but some was this dense new stuff on top. I was running Fischer RCS Plus base skis with a universal type grind. Had a base of UF7 + FC27 covered with F40 Red and topped with Fluor 100. Skis were great for 30 minutes of race watching and cheering and two hours of skiing. If I had been more well prepared I would have added a little more aggressive structure using eihter a Jensen Finite Finish Structure tool or the Toko Structurerite tool. If you find yourself wanting to add more structure just before a race, generally do this after waxing. Brush out the skis well and then add structure. Brush again before you ski and then test the whole system.
Comment if you have anthing to add or have questions.
Have one,
Bert
