Weekend Wax Recommendation

Saturday – Silver Fox Trot

BKL: Glide wax for temps in the high 20s, Swix CH8 or LF8 if you have it.

Masters/High School: CH or LF8 with some CH or LF10 mixed in

Sunday – Stowe Derby

Skate – Swix CH, LF, or HF 8

Classic – Temps will be a little warmer so glide wax with 8 mixed with some 10. For kick wax, prep your skis with an ironed in green binder. The kick will likely be warm hard wax (Toko Yellow, Swix Extra Violet, or a Swix VR60-70).

A number of MNCers are headed down to the Fox Trot on Saturday – there will be races for all ages so you just might see some coaches out there racing too!

Here is a link to the event website where you will find race info, a registration link, and directions. Online registration closes Thursday at 11 pm, there is also day or race registration, but it is more expensive. All races will be held at the Strafford Nordic Center, which is about an hour and a half from Burlington.
