The recommendation depends on an accurate forecast, be alert to changing, unpredictable temperatures
or snow conditions, if things change dramatically you may want to rewax.
In this case of last minute changes consult the Wax Master for recommendations.
If you cannot rewax, have on hand Fast Wax Slick Pro for race day changes.
And as always make sure your skis are properly prepared, cleaned and scraped with Base Prep
per the Fast Wax Instructions before waxing for the race.
 
 
 Update 3-8 -2008  3:30 PM 
The key for fast skis  this weekend with the transformed snow for the Masters Nationals in McCall ID and MN, MI and WI races is to use the Flite 11 over the top of either HSF 20 Tan or HSF 30 Salmon. 
Go with a universal grind for temperatures up to the mid 20's and if the temperature is close to or above freezing add a light rill.
