Solda Wax Recommendations

The North American Vasa is a 27km skate or classic race. Classic skiers go out first at 8:30 and skate racers one hour later at 9:30. NOAA forecast is :

Friday: Scattered snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 28. Northwest wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Friday Night: Scattered flurries. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 16. North wind around 5 mph.

Saturday: Scattered flurries. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 25. Northwest wind between 5 and 10 mph.

There has been a little snow in the last couple days and they are trying to not till it in with the harder base. New snow is fine grained, cold and slow.

Skis: Pick a pair of medium flex cold base skis with a fine grind.
Base wax: Rub on a layer of Solda HC 28. Drip on Solda Performance Green and Solda UF7, iron and scrape.
Race wax: Solda F15 or F30 Violet. If there is not much new snow, and it looks like it will be abrasive old snow, top with Solda HP05 - S30 mix 50/50. If it looks like it will warm nicely during the race and there is more newish snow on the course top with HP05.

Glide wax for Sunday's Grand Traverse Classic race looks to be the same.
