Solda Wax Recommendations

Based on Accuweather forecast - and what I've heard for Stowe VT area -
looks like mostly old snow tilled up for the races.  21F for high on
Saturday and 20F for high on Sunday.

I would try Solda F31 Violet covered with Solda S20 for both days - well brushed.
Another combination that may work well would be Solda F15 or F31 Violet covered with
an S-30/HP-05    50%/50% mix.

For Saturday's classic race (only 5km for woman and 10km men) - I would
recommend Toko Green hard wax base binder ironed in and cooled - cover
with Ski-Go HF Blue (-2 to -20F) "old snow"  -  Recommend applying 3-4
very thin layers well corked.  The 5km loop is mostly downhill with a
steady climb over the last ~2km to finish.

This is close to what I came up with from here in Bend. Remember, there are different
ways to have fast skis in cold abrasive snow. Also remember HP05 has a great history
in that condition. I was told that the Swedish winners of the recent Marcialona race in
Italy were on HP05.

Have a good race,

Bert
