Tour de Meissner 2010

The Tour de Meissner is a classic race at the Virginia Meissner Sno Park 15 miles west of Bend, Oregon. The current NOAA forecast is:

Friday: A 20 percent chance of snow showers after 10am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 39. South southeast wind between 3 and 8 mph.

Friday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 26. East northeast wind around 5 mph.

Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 42. Northeast wind around 6 mph.

The snow is transformed and has been thawed and frozen.

Skis: Pick a pair of Plus base skis. It will probably be a klister day.

Base wax: Solda UF7 and Performance Red 50/50.

Race wax: I would apply a couple layers of Solda F31 Orange. You could stop here or finish up with Solda F40 Red.

Top coat: Finish with Solda Fluor 100 or Solda Powerjet 1.

Kick wax: First apply a klister binder. You could use a thin layer of Swix, Toko or Rode base klisters. Then Universal Swix or Toko multigrade could work as could the Rode Multigrade or Rode Nera.
