Mike Oops, I plugged my own zip code into the weather site. *Still looking at highs around 30 in the Cities. Moly, HF wax, and powder. It hasn't snowed in a month, the course is in town, so the snow is dirty. It probably doesn't matter much what HF or powder, since the snow is old as hell. I'd expect the snow to be abrasive, so I wouldn't go too soft. If it snows overnight, then skip my thoughts. Jay |

Mike I'm going with LF6, if its going to be cold at the start (10)skipping a top coat; otherwise putting jetstream moly over it. But you should probably listen to Jay, he always has fast skis |

Here's a NWS point graph and a corresponding aeriel/topo for the
coordinates used. It helps to know that the basin of the park, around the start area, is usually colder and presumably more humid than other parts of the park and course. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...=1&AheadHour=0 http://terraserver-usa.com/image.asp...296&Y=3112&W=1 rm "Mike" wrote: With the race right around the corner, what is being kicked around for wax ideas?
