Things warmed up into the mid-thirties by the time Sunday's Krazy Klassic started. Quadruple tracks (two out, two in) were set from the club house / start line / lap out to the loop in the woods, and triple tracks were set through the woods.
Despite rumors to the contrary, the North American VASA is alive and well, and excited to be back in business for our 46th year after a one-year COVID break.
We had what were arguably the best conditions ever for the 2022 Frosty Freestyle. Firm base and soft top for skating, deep and firm tracks for classic.
Wax recommendations for the this weekend's Michigan Cup races, the Frosty Freestyle and the Krazy Klassic. Excellent man-made snow conditions are forecasted!
Soelden 15 is a test wax (a non fluorinated top coat) that did extremely well in testing two weeks ago so I contacted our chemist and he flew some out to me for the races.
At Soldier Hollow, we just tested lots of different new formulas of new fluoro free Topcoats and were surprised and pleased by the results.
Ken Dawson, Points Keeper for the Michigan Cup, has released the current individual standings in the Michigan Cup through the Forbush Time Trial.
We have lots of new products, from many formulas of new fluoro-free topcoats (available next year) to new High Performance hot waxes and liquid paraffins.
During last Friday’s record warm temperature and sustained high winds, the Corsair Ski Trails incurred severe damage. The trails are blocked and inaccessible. We need help.
Unfortunately for the Michigan Cup community, Race Director Nick Baic will be the Assistant Technical Delegate at the Birkie Week this year and will not be able to put on the Boyne Vistas race.
The first pass of the Michigan Cup team rosters are due December 31, 2021. The final roster and ONE check for for the number of team members x $7 is due January 31.

Valley Spur: There is still a frozen base left after a day and half of rain. About an inch of snow Tues night and I classic skied in the left over tracks. It is easy to step around any thin spots. Weather person threatening some snow Sat, which would provide decent Spring skiing.
