— Rob Bradlee's Toko Wax Recommendations —
Weston Ski Track Tuesday Night Race
 

Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Forecast Temperature at 7pm: 37°F
Snow Condition: mix of new & older granular manmade snow

  • LF Moly — iron, cool, scrape, brush.
  • HF Red & HF Yellow mixed 1:1 — iron, cool, scrape, brush.
  • Jetstream Red block — rub-on, cork in (roto or hand), brush out (using dedicated soft nylon brush), polish with thermo-pad.

  • If you have LF instead of HF wax just substitute it for the HF.

    I think with all the new manmade snow and the warm temps predicted for Tuesday that a mix of Red and Yellow will be good for the HF. I like the hardness of the Jet Red on the icy man made.

    Forecast Temperature at 7pm: 38°F
    Snow Condition: wet corn snow

  • LF Moly — iron, cool, scrape, brush.
  • HF Moly & HF Yellow mixed 1:1 (use Red instead of Moly if you don't have Moly) — iron, cool, scrape, brush.
  • Jetstream Red block — rub-on, cork in (roto or hand), brush out (using dedicated soft nylon brush), polish with thermo-pad.

  • If you have LF instead of HF wax just substitute it for the HF.

    I suggest skipping the rilling and avoiding Yellow Jet because they attract dirt.


    Tuesday, January 24, 2012
    Forecast Temperature at 7pm: 35–40°F
    Snow Condition: wet powder & manmade snow

  • LF Moly — iron, cool, scrape, brush.
  • HF Moly & HF Yellow mixed 1:1 (use Red instead of Moly if you don't have Moly) — iron, cool, scrape, brush.
  • Structurite Red rill
  • Jetstream Red block — rub-on, cork in (roto or hand), brush out (using dedicated soft nylon brush), polish with thermo-pad.

  • If you have LF instead of HF wax just substitute it for the HF.

    I'm backing off the Yellow rill and Yellow Jet because last week they seemed to pick up dirt and slow way down during the race.
