There will be skiing in several zones today; check the grooming report. Temps this morning at 4 degrees (near Winthrop) and a little warmer near Mazama, 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 6 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.
If you're a traditionalist and want some reliable early season grip, then try something like Toko Blue or Swix Blue Extra or Vauhti Blue in the morning, but in the afternoon it will be more like Toko Red, Vauhti Carrot or Swix 45.
Have fun out there!
