February 6, 2010 Solda race waxes
Boulder Mountain Tour, Idaho.
32km freestyle race. The current NOAA forecast for the race area:
Friday: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Cloudy, with a high near 37. South southwest wind between 3 and 7 mph. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
Friday Night: A 40 percent chance of snow. Cloudy, with a low around 13. Light and variable wind. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Saturday: A 50 percent chance of snow. Cloudy, with a high near 37. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Friday Night: A 40 percent chance of snow. Cloudy, with a low around 13. Light and variable wind. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Saturday: A 50 percent chance of snow. Cloudy, with a high near 37. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Remembering that the snow in the upper Wood River Valley skis colder than it may read, I am going to prepare a pair of cold base skis with a fairly fine grind as follows:
Base of Solda UF 7 scraped and brushed. Next a layer of Solda F40 Red scraped and brushed. I am going to follow up with Solda F40 Violet and top with Solda HP05.
If you have two pairs of skis prep the other with UF7, F40 Red and HP04.
If things change I will update on Friday evening.
