TECHNICAL RACE NOTES
Swix Technical Team tested the length of the course. Snow temperatures at race time at Galena were -10C, Prairie Creek -10C, SNRA -10C. The snow is acting very aggressive due to the sharp new crystals. Durability and hardness of glide wax will be key factors in waxing. Look for the Tech team on the trails and at the shops for advice and updates.
Good Luck everyone! Have a great Tour!
