Please arrive 1.25hrs before your start. Continue reading about what to do with your race skis. If you have warm up skis, put Rode purple multigrade on them.

We will have a CNSC zone set up in the parking lot. Drop in when you get there. Remember that you might be parked up the road so consider that when planning your arrival time.

You are responsible to get your own bib, so consider that too!

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR RACE SKIS:
Steps:
1) Glide wax with Solda Performance Red (1st choice) or Swix LF6 (2nd) or HWK P1 (3rd).
2) Scrape and brush with brass brush in direction of travel. Brush well!
3) Make sure the kick zone is very clean, clean sidewalls too.
4) Sand the kick zone with #100 sandpaper.
5) Redo your wax pocket lines in case they are disappearing. This helps the waxers a lot.
6) Apply a thin layer of Swix VG35 (best) or Toko green base wax and cork it in good and smooth.

Bring some good food and drinks with you. There will be lots of cookies there to take care of your sweets craving! Also, change into dry, warm clothes after your race.

It would be nice to stick around for the awards ceremony.

See ya later
