New Years Day

For Central Oregon the National Weather Service forecast
states: A WARM FRONTWILL LIFT THROUGH THE REGION DURING
THE DAY ON THURSDAY...RAISING SNOW LEVELS ACROSS THE REGION.
MANY AREAS WILL SEE MOSTLY RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM AS SNOW
LEVELS RISE TO 5000-6000 FEET. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE
OVER THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WASHINGTON CASCADES
AND THE YAKIMA AND KITTITAS VALLEYS WHERE COLDER AIR WILL KEEP SNOW
LEVELS LOWER. DMH

My wax recommendation for the New Years Relay at Mount
Bachelor remains basically unchanged. I would start with
SOLDA F31 PINK then a layer of SOLDA F40 RED. For this
sprint race finish with a application of SOLDA Power Jet
1 corked and burshed

Other races at this Holiday weekend include:

In NH, Cranmore night race. 5km Freestyle in North Conway, NH.
Weather: Overnight low of 5F. 12F at 9:00 am. Cloudy with 40%
chance of snow. Humidity 60-80%. Pick a pair of skis with a
fine grind and a cold base. I would wax with SOLDA F15 Blue
covered with Power Jet4. This can be ironed in, scraped and
brushed, or corked in and brushed.

I started this at 9:00 this morning and the shop got busy. It
is now almost 1:00 and I have to leave to make appointments.
I will post more later. There is actually a new wax blog at
Webskis that should be up and running on Friday.

Have one,

Bert
