Looks like it will cool off tonight, but with today’s mild and breezy weather, the new snow will be a mix of slightly to totally transformed down low, with dry crystal snow up higher. These are somewhat tough conditions to get the kick wax just right. The best blend will be something like a violet/purple on the whole kick zone, with a very thin layer of a warm universal or multi-grade universal klister in a shorter zone (not as long as your normal kick wax zone). This will provide kick everywhere and won’t be too slow in the dry snow areas. Embrace the klister!

Join us for a full moon social ski out to Cañada Bonita this Saturday evening, February 8th at 6pm. We’ll plan on heading out about 6:15pm or so, sorting out into easy-paced (i.e. talking pace) groups. Bring your favorite warm beverages and treats for before/after/during libation breaks. All-comers welcome, including kids. Bring a headlamp just in case, but it gets really bright when the moon is shining on the snow. Should be a lovely evening!
