Update at 15.40:
There are changing weather reports. Yr.no is now reporting warmer temperatures than first thought. It is therefore important to keep an eye on the temperature before the start tomorrow. See the recommendations for adjustment further down.

The way it looks on the weather forecast right now, it may look like you have to adjust more softly than first thought. It is worth noting that the temperature on the mountain has not changed, so we can expect dry and fine weather there. The challenges therefore lie particularly from the start.

We at Swix have a waxing service at Sport 1 Lillehammer, Sport 1 Rena and at Skramstadsetra on Friday. Here you can deliver the skis to us.
