This is what it is.  And so I am getting ready to prep my skis for the race. I will first choose skis with warm bases and fairly well defined warm snow grinds. Chances are pretty good that there will be plenty of moisture available at the snow running surface. I will make sure to put he structure tool in the wax box.

Now the next step is to clean up the skis I am taking. A cleaning warm-scrape with SOLDA Universal base is a good start. This should be followed with a thorough brushing with a medium steel brush to clean all wax from the structure. I will clean off all old kick wax from my classic skis and get the klister into separate plastic bags in a separate box. I think I will next put on a layer of SOLDA UF 7 as a base/travel wax. This wide range low fluoro is a perfect start of layering higher fluoros that will be used race day.  We will drive up on Thursday, eat some beef stew prepared by chefs Dagmar and Nils Erikkson and get ready for easy skiing and snow evaluation on Friday. I will be bringing the following glide waxes:

SOLDA UF 7

SOLDA F15 Yellow, F31 Yellow, F40 Yellow, F 31 Orange, F 40 Red, F40 Violet

SOLDA Fluoro 100 warm powder, HP04 Fluoro Powder

SOLDA PowerJet 1, PowerJet 2 and PowerJet 5

And, be glad it is not -10˚F.

See you on the trails.
