The wax recommendations depend on an accurate forecast, be alert to changing, unpredictable
temperatures or snow conditions, if things change dramatically you may want to rewax.
In this case of last minute changes consult the Wax Master for recommendations.
If you cannot rewax, have on hand Fast Wax Slick Pro for race day changes.
And as always make sure your skis are properly prepared, cleaned and scraped with Base Prep
per the Fast Wax Instructions  for the race.
