Looking forward to the camp, thanks to the Pierce
family for hosting. I expect the skiing
to be good as it is going to turn cold after this weekend. I would
like all the skiers to prepare their skis before arrival.
Classic skis:
- Clean kick
zone
- Sand kick
zone lightly with a 100g sand paper or scotchbrite
- Wax tips and
tails with a cold glide wax (ex. swix blue CH6 or equivalent)
- Brush
Skate skis
- Clean and wax
with same CH6 or equal
- Brush
Having skis ready will save time. We will add kick wax in Rangeley before
skiing. I always encourage skiers to take responsibility for their skis, so
everyone should bring a cold hard kick wax and glide wax along with scraper and
cork.
Make sure to have cold weather ski clothing, as we
will see very low temps at least some of the days. This includes warm gloves or mitts, neck warmer,
extra hat and warm ups are essential. Also
a water bottle and HOLDER are important along with an energy bar/snack to bring
during the ski. We should plan on two
skis per day along with a short morning run. The run is to be easy and intended
to get us going before breakfast. I am
thinking a morning AM ski to be 10-12 or so and afternoon PM 2-3:30.
Thanks,
John
