M

Reports from The Vasa were very favorable yesterday on the kick and the combo seemed to wear in well for the changing trail and temps.

Today:

Kick: Rex Violet Powergrip 4 - dab on like klister in 30 deg offset globs and then iron in. No cover needed this should flex around the freezing point a few degrees and work ice to slight slush

Glide: Toko Yellow with Blue old swix Moly Speedpowder (you know the one with the "skater" on it)

Or use waxless skis today on the flexing and avoid the transition area
