Hi everyone,
Here is the scoop for the RMSC this weekend.
Wax: Use Swix LF 10 or any other warm glide wax you have in your waxbox (air temps above zero). Scrape skis very well and brush (there should be absolutely no traces of visible, scrapable glide wax left on the skis, this slows skis down considerably in warm conditions).
Ski drop off: We need your child’s skis dropped off at the team room no later than 11:30 am . This is so we can apply structure to the bases – if we don’t get the skis by this time we won’t have time to get them all done. This makes a BIG difference to ski speed at warm temps. Skis can be dropped off earlier in the morning if parents are racing or volunteering earlier. Make sure all skis are marked with racer’s name.
Arrival time: Noon at team room if your skis have been dropped off earlier, 11:30 am if you are arriving with your skis. Note that daylight savings starts this weekend so don’t forget to set your clocks one hour forward on Saturday night.
What to bring: It is going to be warm (yah!). Sunglasses, sunscreen and lots of water are all essential at this time of year even if it is cloudy. 8) Bring a lunch and eat a snack at 10:30-11am before coming up (race at ~12:45pm).
See you up there!
