SISU Ski Fest, ABR to Ironwood, MI
Jan 9 
Weather Forecast
Friday Night - Mostly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of snow showers. 
Lows around 7°F below inland to around 2°F above at the shore. North winds 5 to 10 mph becoming northwest after midnight. 
Saturday - Partly cloudy. High around 10 °F. 

Race Conditions - Expect changing trail conditions with the point to point race.
There could be some drifting in the woods and wind blown snow in the open areas 
with the new snow,  expect a race time temperature of  5 °F

Wax Recommendation 
Apply 2 layers of HSLF - 10 Teal over 1 layer of HS - 20 Blue or
Apply 2 layers of HS - 0 White over 1 layer of HS - 20 Blue 

(This is a difficult one to predict as the forecast keeps changing and it depends on how far  the lake effect temperature carries inland. )
Wax cold, either the HSLF-10 Teal or the HS-0 White will be excellent choices and with the potential for wind blown snow use a fine grind -- very little structure  (no riling)
A stiffer ski will also help minimize the contact area with the snow for improved glide on the flatter sections toward the end of the race.
