It looks like some fun spring weather for the Craftsbury S’Ender race this coming Sunday! Here is a bit of a wax recommendation for the event.
Glide during spring skiing has a lot to do with dirt management. It will be important to use a glide zone cleaner if you have one (apply it, let it dry, and then brush with a metal brush). If you do not have a glide zone cleaner, use a metal brush to make many passes to clean out your bases as much as possible.
For glide wax, it is recommended to apply one harder layer for durability such as CH6 or Toko Blue. After scraping and brushing, follow with a layer of Red wax such as CH8 or Toko Red (women’s race) or Yellow wax such as CH10 or Toko Yellow (men’s race).
The temps will be increasing very rapidly and the sun will be out, so you can expect the snow to be icy at first, before changing to corn and then eventually slushy consistency.
Look for the MNC tent to find some teammates! We will be testing a few non-fluoro sprays and race layers that we can apply to skis on race day, as well as structure!
