Heaviest weight I’ve ever put overhead

Good overhead session

Wind was only “39 to 43 mph, with gusts as high as 60 mph” instead of the usual 100mph (see edit below where I’m hoisted by my own petard). Temps were mid 20s, so the wind chill barely broke 0F…

Nobody has been up into the trees yet, and any tracks on the road were gone in 30 seconds. About half was nice cruisy snow, and half was breaking 18” of trail 😂 I put in two laps up to Lake Isabelle in the trees, so somebody better go repeat it and help establish the trail. 

This was the first time I set up these skis with kick wax and it went well. Now that I have my fat skis I converted these to fast backcountry classic sticks. Some clumping in the kick zone with the new snow and because I walked over some gravel that stuck to the wax. Probably should have stuck to the harder blue instead of blue extra. 

For the sickos:
Glide zones are a layer of blue then a layer of red. 
Kick zone is a layer of Swix base binder, then a layer of Swix blue ironed in and corked, then a layer of Swix blue extra corked. That didn’t want to grip well so I put another thin layer of blue extra with no cork and that gripped great.

Edit: 92mph measured gust at Brainard today… one gust did push me backwards on my skis…
