Cowboy Pursuit, Larimie
The Cowboy Pursuit is hosted by the University of Wyoming. It is a 10km skate race. The NOAA forecast is:
Friday: A 20 percent chance of snow before 11am. Areas of fog before 8am. Otherwise, cloudy, with a high near 27. Wind chill values as low as -5. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming northwest.
Friday Night: A 30 percent chance of snow. Cloudy, with a low around 12. East wind 5 to 10 mph becoming west.
Saturday: Snow likely, mainly after 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 26. Wind chill values as low as zero. Breezy, with a southeast wind between 10 and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
Skis: Select a medium flex ski with a medium to fine grind. I would pick one with a cold base if I had a choice.
Base wax: On clean bases start with a layer of a mix of Solda Performance Green and UF7 50/50.
Race wax: Go with a layer of Solda F31 Violet and finish with Solda HP05. If the snow is windblown, top coat with Solda S20.
Alternative if it is a bit warmer or more humid:
Base of Solda Performance Red and UF7 50/50.
Race wax: Solda F40 Red and finish with HP05.
Have a good race.
