Another cold morning will be chased away by the sun probably by mid-morning. Today we have a ski demo at the Methow Trails office in Winthrop from 10 am-2 pm, so test the latest and greatest skis to see how smooth and light you can feel. Just look for the tents as you drive in. This fun event is free and open to everyone, racers and non-racers alike. Reps from top XC ski brands will help you try out the cutting edge of equipment and answer questions. Plus, anyone who demos a pair of skis will be entered into a great raffle from Winthrop Mountain Sports! These vendors are in town for our Ski to the Sun Marathon and relay which is happening tomorrow. The race begins in Mazama and then travels down the MCT before finishing up at Sun Mountain Lodge. The best plan to avoid the racing is to come to Mazama after 10 am or head to the Rendezvous or Winthrop trails anytime. Enjoy another day of sun and excellent ski conditions.
Sunny days with perfect conditions

Glide Wax:Vauhti Pure Liquid Polar is going to be your best liquid option today. If you're going to iron in your glide wax: Swix Polar would be our recommendation for skiing in the morning, and Swix 5 for the afternoon. Toko Blue would be our second choice.
Classic: Skin skis are going to be great for reliable kick and glide. For kick wax, we would recommend putting on a thin green base binder. Top that with a couple layers of Vauhti Blue. If you're starting in the afternoon or prefer more traction, we would recommend using Swix 40.
