Weather – the forecast says cold for tomorrow -16C by lunch time. the cold weather cutoff for midgets and juveniles is -20C for CCA sanctioned events. the cold weather cut off for minimidgets and younger is -15C for CCA sanctioned events. This is cold weather skiing. mitts with hand warmers inside are a must. toques (not headbands with pony tails) are must. buffs covering exposed areas of your face are a must. bringing a blanket that you can throw over your shoulders in between your sprint relay legs is a must.
Ski preparation
glide – solda techno green or swix LF4 should give us good glide – Please check back this evening before waxing to see if this info has changed. scrape and brush with brass brush really really well.
grip – rode multi grade violet – cover with a layer of swix V40 extra blue- make sure your grip zone is stripped and clean before starting – sand grip zone – put a binder on (preferably swix vg35 or if you don’t have any of that then use toko green) and cover with 5-8 layers of grip.
Meeting time and location
lets meet at the team room at 11am. We will have a team meeting at 11am followed by a warm up together and then head over to the start.
This will be lots of fun! We will see you saturday morning!
