TOKO
We have Toko Tech Team members in Ketchum who will be monitoring the conditions and testing. Additionally I will be in Ketchum and will test Thursday and again on Friday morning before coming to the expo. I'll be at the expo approximately from noon to close to talk about the wax recommendation, say hello, and answer any questions anyone might have. We have done our best to stock the local ski shops with what we expect will be the wax of the day, but this is never a sure thing and often the stores sell out. The current forecast shows overnight lows of around 15f and daytime highs of 38f until Thursday. Then Thursday night a low of 21 and high Friday of 35 with maybe a bit of weather Friday. They are currently forecasting 1.5 inches of snow Friday night with a low of 27f and then a high of 38f Saturday with maybe more precip or maybe it will have passed by then. In the last two hours, the forecast has changed and the incoming weather has changed to earlier. Two days ago, they were saying it wouldn't arrive until Saturday night and Sunday. For this reason, we are going to wait until Thursday morning to make our BMT race wax tip call. We don't want people waxing early and arriving in Ketchum with the completely wrong wax and no means of correcting it. It does look as though our base layers will be BP hot wax Red followed by HP hot wax Red for race day. Despite the forecasted air temperatures and precipitation, I am very reluctant to recommend mixing in Yellow as the BMT snow is notably dry and when there is precipitation, so often it falls dry or even in the form of graupel which acts super dry but most commonly falls at around 32-35f. We have to wait for the forecast to get more reliable before recommending HPLP or not or maybe adding Yellow to the Red hot wax. If it snows Saturday morning and then continues to snow during the race such that there is a hard base of snow with 1-2 inches of ungroomed snow on top, my recommendation is to go with a pair of skis that has a higher stiffer camber. Skis tend to run far better in such conditions when there is less contact of the snow on the base and this is the way to accomplish that. If these are the conditions, I expect flex of the skis (higher stiffer camber) to be the most important factor affecting ski speed. If it snows Friday and Friday evening and then they are able to groom the course overnight and in the morning such that the snow is set up and hard like it will be most of the week (but with more moisture in the air and snow), then "normal" skis will be great. See you at the expo and please look for our race wax recommendation on Thursday morning at around 10mst
