The weather seems to enjoy throwing rain at the race days at Mt Bachelor this season. The current (1:00 PM 12/31/09) forecast for New Years Day is br /br /Tonight: Rain and snow. Low around 28. Breezy, with a west southwest wind between 24 and 26 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. br /br /New Year’s Day: Rain and snow showers, becoming all snow after 10am. High near 35. Southwest wind around 21 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. br /br /The race is a relay of 3 skiers. The first leg is classic and the last two are skate. See the MBSEF website for more details. br /br /br /Glide wax: Start with a fairly soft pair of plus base skis. Brush them well with a medium bronze or steel brush and apply a layer of Solda UF7, scrape and brush. Follow with a layer of Solda F31 Pink or F40 Red, scrape and brush. Finish with Solda Fluor 100. The spray would work well, or Powerjet 1. After corking these fluoro additives remember to let the skis cool before brushing. Use a soft horse hair or very fine/soft nylon to finish the job. br /br /The economy wax would be a layer of Solda UF7 on a nice clean base. br /br /After waxing you could apply a medium structure with the Toko Structurerite tool. Always brush again after applying structure. br /br /Kick Wax: YUCK… I would start with a sticky wax under foot, maybe two thin layers one just a bit longer than the other and then cover with a slightly harder wax. If using Swix, start with a layer of VR 60 or 65 and cover with VR 55.You could also try straight VR 70. If using Rode, start with the Rode Red Extra 0 to +2C and cover with Rode Blue Super -1 to -3C. Good Luck. Remember there is also the Klister cushion. If using this idea probably best to start with a Silver klister and cover with a hard wax for around 0C temps. Klister must be cold when covering with a hard wax. br /br /Good Luckdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6589659500745667109-3034142787261700567?l=www.webskis.com%2Fwebskisblog.html’ alt=” //div
