Christina Paluselli of Italy won the Sunday’s Marcialonga 70-kilometer FIS Marathon by more than 3 minutes to second place and more than 23 minutes to third. The air temperature was roughly -11 Celsius and the snow temperature was -14 Celsius. The humidity was 67% and it was clear and sunny.
Paluselli used SOLDA HPO5 Powder heated in over a layer of SOLDA F-31 Blue. – The HPO5 was extremely durable and fast, great skis was her comment after the race.

Team waxing made simple:
– Our skiers had excellent skis at the January JO qualifier races at Soldier Hollow, Utah and waxing has never been easier and more economical.
Waxing for more than 20 junior skiers can be expensive and challenging. Simplifying this process without sacrificing glide is a must for me. The perfect solution this weekend was using SOLDA F-15 Orange 250 gram economy blocks as base wax and SOLDA PowerJet waxes as top layers. The conditions were old snow, and cold 15-25 Fahrenheit dry snow for the morning races and sunny and warm, faster snow for the afternoon races. PowerJet 4 was excellent as top layer in the dry, low humidity snow in the morning and PowerJet 1 (Warm Fluorocarbon) was excellent when the temperatures and snow moisture content increased during the day. We waxed more than 40 pairs of skis, had great glide and spent only approximately $50 on top layer wax and $35 on base layers for the entire group!
