Wax Recommendation

Forecast is for overnight temperatures in the low 20's rising to 26° by race time.  Snow is packed powder, should be set up pretty firmly with minimal icy spots.
Glide: Swix LF7 or Toko LF Red. 
Kick: likely Rode Super Blue or Swix Extra Blue. (Or Vauhti Carrot, or Toko Red - lots of things should work.)  Snow has not been particularly abrasive, base wax probably not necessary but could iron in a layer of your favorite blue.
Several of the downhills have been worn fairly thin - we'll do our best to improve coverage by the morning but we do not recommend using your best race skis if you have a choice.
