If you use Solda products, this is pretty interesting (and addictive)
to play around with:

I'd have a colder than predicted CH or LF wax for your underlayers and then go with low or high flouro wax of the day on top finally covered by Cera F, Jetstream, or other pure flouro product. Structure will depend on how warm it gets and how packed down the underlying snow base has been over past few day. If it gets warm structure can be more important than the wax. When in doubt wax colder.
Just a knee-jerk comment. I live in the Rockies so probably better to get a local's opinion.
