Some snow has fallen in the hills, and it looks like moderate temperatures for the Bogburn on Saturday.
Just a quick note, however, that this wax recommendation is coming to you from 5F and dark Anchorage, AK so please take all notes as a “best guess” scenario without knowing the actual snow condition. MNC coaches never apply kickwax for a race before the morning of the race itself, when we’ve had a chance to size things up!
Look for the MNC tent and team area with coach Liz, coach Sara, and coach Kristen on race day up at Rikert!
The snow report indicates very little new snow from the recent storm system. Therefore expect a mostly machine-made/transformed base with temps in the 20s, meaning snow could start icy and become sugary.
For glide wax, a simple warm/mid-range option like Toko Red or Swix HS8 would be safe. For kick, klister could very well be involved so please hold off on applying a hardwax binder. Coaches will likely be able to apply a quick spray klister or roller klister binder job if it is called for.
