Milan Baic and Cassidy Edwards won this season's Holly Cup Classic in difficult waxing conditions. Temperatures were just under freezing, with a light dusting of new snow over crusty old frozen snow that turned to sugar snow during grooming and racing.

Skiers tried a number of waxing strategies: Klister, klister with hard wax on top, and no-wax skis. It seemed that the people who used only klister had the best wax to the end. Combinations of silver, violet, universal, and orange (Toko) worked best. Those who waxed over their klister had the best results with red hard wax.

There was good coverage on the trail - only a couple spots did grass show through on the track.

Milan's didn't have much wax on his ski by the end of the race. He waxed with hard wax over klister,
but the abrasive snow took it's toll. Hindsight, Milan said he might have gone with silver klister.
