Default Waxing Problem

Hard wax over klister is one common approach. I tend to do it in
advance if there's any chance of loose snow in the tracks or even in the
skate lane. This is a layering process, so make sure the klister is
hard by cooling the skis outside first for 20-30 minutes or more,
depending on the temperature. Leaving hard wax outside and applying
it there isn't a bad idea either, so it's not soft. If it is, you'll end
up rubbing it in so hard to get the desired smoothness that friction
will heat and soften the klister, thus mixes the two waxes. After
that, let the skis cool again for a few minutes and then go out and
have fun, carrying the appropriate hard wax with you.

Hej,
Any recommendations on how best to deal with this situation. You
start off on icy conditions so you put on Klister. How do you adapt
when you move on to softer snow without cleaning everything off. When
touring you can mix all sorts of waxes and function but what can you
put on top of Klister.
Thanks
