WMC Recap and Looking to Saturday


Great racing today at the WMC Freestyle races at Pineland. Another fantastic result for the girls team, 2nd overall at the WMC meet is a result to be very proud of.  Four of the top eight places and solid results for all the girls reflects all the hard work they have put in this year.  The boy's continue to improve as a team, a fourth place finish is very respectable in a very strong field.  Its great to see the competition among both the boy's and girl's team, this competition is making everyone faster...keep up the good effort.

Thursday is an off day for practice however as mentioned we will help out at the middle school race (Campus Loop). Henry will be at the school at 3pm to help out getting the middle school the help they need.  Bring skate gear and make use of the time on snow. Friday we will Classic ski, lets meet at the outdoor center at 3pm, bring a pair of practice skis to use and your race skis for a binder wax I will apply.  You should klister your practice ski with swix KR 50 or 60 or equivalent for temps around 40F. Race wax suggestion for Saturday at present should be the same as today, SkiGo LF or XC Graphite and XC or LF Violet race wax.  For Swix use the base wax as for today and LF6 or CH6.  Clean the race classic skis, top and side walls, sand kick zone with 100 g paper, mark kick zone for klister.  The kick zone starts at the heal of your boot and goes forward, the front of the zone will vary, hard wax pockets are longer.Any questions, please contact me.
