Temp: Approx. 25' F
Snow: Fairly moist new snow, Steep climbs became sugary
Three wax combinations came into play at today's race. I used Rhode Super Blue covered with the new 0 to -2. It was an extremely fast wax, and had very good kick in the woods, and fair kick in the sun. I also top coated with ski go c22. Early in the race up to 3k I was gaining on all nearby racers and tucking up and over climbs I would double pole on the second lap. overall my ski's were very good. I would have rather roto corked the c22. The two other waxes successfully used today were a combo of Swix 45 and 50, and Ski go LF violet. We had racers put down quality races on all three. leading me to believe, on the amateur level racer fitness on a course like this is far more important than wax, especially considering the sugary up hills that would shear even on a ski waxed far too warm.
