09 Kangaroo Hoppettbr /br /The 09-10 nordic racing season is open and in full swing. Recent events in New Zealand and Australia have kicked off the competitive year. br /On Saturday, August 29 Oceania’s best Nordic skiers will be contesting the Kangaroo Hoppett. It is anticipated that the Kangaroo Hoppet, the Australian Birkebeiner and the Joey Hoppett will be held on modified courses using the Sun Valley (7km) and Heathy Spur (14km) loops. The decision on the actual course layout will be taken on Friday and will depend on the expected weather conditions for Saturday. br /br /My WebSkis Team sources on the ground in Australia have submitted the following weather forecast: br /The way the weather is looking you’ll need a water ski wax! 20mm of rain is forecast for friday night with 5 degrees C and 45km/h NWerlies on Saturday! br /There has been some new snow over the last few days, but it looks like the winter cold weather is on the way out to be replaced by some winter mild weather with rain. It looks now that the temps at race time will be around 3 to 4 C with a good chance of rain. Rain off and on all day Friday.br / br /SOLDA WAX recommendationbr /Start with a good hot scrape using a warm wax such as SOLDA Performance Yellow or SOLDA Base Universal. This should be done twice and brushed wellbr /Start with a layer of SOLDA UF7 scraped and brushed. Cover this with SOLDA F31 or F40 Yellow also scraped and brushed. Finish with an application of SOLDA Fluor 100 powder ironed, polished with felt pad and brushed with horse hair brush. Now apply a good structure in the ski base. A good tool is the Toko Structurite tool using the coarse interrupted structure. After the structure application, brush again. The last wax layer could also be SOLDA Powerjet 5. Whatever wax you use, be sure to add structure to deal with the abundant moisture forecast.br /br /Have a good race,br /br /Bertdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6589659500745667109-3454805100657285448?l=www.webskis.com%2Fwebskisblog.html’ alt=” //div
