White Mt Classic

FasterSkierJanuary 22, 2010

This is a 30 km classic race in Jackson NH. The NOAA forecast is :br /br /bThis Afternoon: /bSunny, with a high near 31. North wind around 10 mph.br /br /bTonight: /bMostly clear, with a low around -6. Northwest wind between 3 and 9 mph.br /br /bSaturday: /bSunny, with a high near 28. Wind chill values as low as -12. Light northwest wind.br /br /Looks like transformed snow. I would prep a pair of cold base skis with medium to soft flex. If the track is glazed you might want to consider klister skis.br /br /SOLDA Glide wax: On the glide zone crayon on a layer of FC28 and start with a layer of Performance Green scraped and brushed. If is stays cold, then go with a layer or two of F15 Blue. Finish with the HP05 S/30 mix. If it looks like it will be warmer at the start (22F) go with F15 or F31 Violet instead of F15 Blue and cover with HP05 S30 mix.br /br /Kick wax: I am not there. Sounds like it could be cold on a glazed track. That could be an ice klister. Could also be a klister binder covered with a hard wax. In any case the snow is abrasive and will need a binder. The Swix VG 35 could work for aggressive snow. Testing today and tomorrow is a must.div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6589659500745667109-2589254796154966176?l=www.webskis.com%2Fwebskisblog.html’ alt=” //div
