New snow in the valley, another 6" overnight brings the two day total to 22" at my house, and it's officially ski season.
There will be skiing somewhere today; check the grooming report. Temps this morning at 22 degrees, but raising above freezing in the valley during the day today. Keep in mind that the ground under the new snow is not frozen, so the snow will behave warmer than the air temperature.
Wax recommendations:
Glide - Toko Red or Swix 7 should be good in the morning. Possibly a step warmer in the afternoon. You could also try one of the liquid waxes from Vauhti that apply without aerosol.
Grip -- A lot of people will look to their old fish scale bases or newer skin skis for early season in transitional temperatures, and that seems pretty brilliant to me. But if you're a traditionalist and want some reliable early season grip, then try something like Toko Red or Swix 45, which should be decent grip without much fear of icing up.
Have fun out there!
