Temp: 1-12'F
Snow: Man made and tranformed natural snow very well tilled, in a few section the tracks were down to ice or courser grained snow.
The wax I used today was spray on green klister, covered with KR30. This worked well for me, early in the race it was not kicking as well as I would have liked, but as the course got skied in and loose snow started to fill the tracks, the ski's improved. I tried to fix the lack of kick by adding some Rhode special blue, but this created far too much drag. Others tried similar products with similar results. The trouble was the course was very transformed so a softer wax would have kicked better, but the tiller did such a nice job, there were allot of sharp snow crystals in the mix with cold temps. Others tried toko blue, and found it worked at least as well and possible a touch better. Steve Wright went outside the box and Used Rhode Chola as a binder, covered it with rex Blue Klister and then appled two layers of toko white hard wax and added a final layer of Mint for more speed. He had an excellent race and liked his ski's. Today the spray on green binder worked well for me as I lost less wax than those applying straight blue.
