Solda Wax Recommendations

MOUNT BACHELOR,

Mount Bachelor race wax looks the same. Seems the weather will remain wintery Friday and Saturday. I skied this morning and it was cold, crunchy and slow. Snow Temp -16C (3F). Looks like sunny today. Forecast overnight low is 20. It could be colder if it remains clear. If it really does stay clear and the temps at night go down in the mid to low teens, I would go with F40 Violet instead of Red and Finish with HPO4. I am prepping one pair with HPO5 just in case it stays way colder.


LAKE LAND LOPPET

Looks to be no change here.



GREAT RACE, CALIFORNIA

This is also a tricky call with the altitude gain and the primarily north facing descent in the second half of the race. Looks like the forecast remains warm, but a low of 19F at the top of the climb.

If I were there racing, I would add a layer of Solda F40 Red or F40 Red Special over the base of F40 Yellow. Finish the same with Fluor 100 or PowerJet 1 ironed.



SNOW MOUNTAIN STAMPEDE, Near Winter Park, CO

I would start with a base of Solda HC28 and F15 Blue. I think the wind and
dry humidity will create cold feeling snow. Then cover with Solda F31
Violet. Finish with Solda S20 cold powder. If you get more snow and it is
a bit more humid, apply a last layer of HP06, or if it is above 15F, HP05.


Have great races.
