Muskoka Loppet

Hi All

This is a long range forecast for those who don't have time to wax on Saturday, I will update this tomorrow when I see the forecast

The glide is going to be pretty easy with cold overnight and high of -3 and new snow on Sunday.

This is not a paraffin series race so you can break out the fluros if you like

My recommendation right now is Swix LF6

Since it is a classic race the speed is dictated a lot by the kick wax so if you have  a regular blue wax go ahead and use it, there will not be a big difference in speed.

For those who want to get excited and put on a pure fluro topper there are a couple you can choose.

Vauhti Black Fox is pretty good in these conditions
Rex TK72 is a good choice
SFR 92 also falls in this range.
Vauhti HFC 15

As I mentioned above though the speed of the ski will be mostly influenced by the kick wax

Well this could go any number of ways depending on the snow but a safe bet would be to iron in a layer of Swix v40, it will provide a good base and ensure the grip that is put on will stay in place.

For those who are doing the 30K I would tend to use the Swix VG35.  I have had luck with this product in new snow at these temperatures.

Keep the layers really thin
