The weather channel says 10 pm 31 degrees just came in from outside with thermometer it reads 38 degrees. Got the new swix catalog, they have a fume hood for waxing with fluorine based waxes. It has been one of the things slowing me down from moving into using them. But after the swix guy did my skis with lf base wax rubbed on a fl powder and a few brush strokes I am sold. He said carry them to lift and put them on. I did and did one small push to get out to loading line and I slide past the line. I was stabbing the poles to slow down. |

As I understand it from my spawn's racing days, young women (possibly even nubiles,) are the coat carriers of choice. Perhaps you might broaden your selection criteria? I was the coat carrier for the Austrian women one time as they trained at Brighton before a World Cup at PC. Good duty. I also drove them around as needed. Same gig I met Heidi and Pirmin Zurbriggen. |

The California Gold Rush miners invented the first ski "waxes" for racing, according to Hertel http://www.hertelskiwax.com/articles.asp?id=143 They also invented ski racing, thereby establishing the need. They were also the fastest men in the world. A prime ingredient was whale sperm; I suggest you find a Sperm Whale and source some serious ski speed. Whale sperm? or Spermaceti which is not sperm? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermaceti |

But I prefer the image of a gang of gold rush long board ski racers rowing out to "milk" a sperm whale. |

Flouro's the right stuff for damp snow - pray for drizzle... I wish it was warm, and it did not freeze last night. I think we had off the racing line what the west coasters call Sierra cement? The skis stopped body kept moving sort of result. The snow stuck to the skis. I took no effort to move it during side slipping but you hit at speed and it did not work skis did not respond to way you were directing them I finished the first two masters runs and skied with my son for a run at nastar. But they moved the start time up to 11:30 I got there at 12:15 as I would go off at 12:30 with my number 59. I get there and they are waiting for me I am now the last one to go. I go get about a 1/3 of the way down on the head wall & hit the cement and do a tumble land on head slide a bit. Must say the helmet felt good as the load was distributed over the whole helmet. Got up collected my skis the crew was already taking down the gates. Shook myself off skied down nothing really hurts. Did a run over at nastar because had to go pick up my coat figured I would test the legs. I think one of the reasons I dislike powder is you can find cement patches in areas of powder. But the race was cut down to 3 runs not 4 as planned, and several people were DNF's. But I got educated that other people can not ski in this well and it is not safe to race on. Were GP this trail in particular is steep and icy, not steep and slushy. |
