Is that first or second jump on a map SS Kirkenaer?
You might still need them. Long term forecast predicts cold weather and sometimes very cold weather for the next weekend :) But rally should run with quite small amount of snow, quite Ok ice layer and cold temperatures. Hopefully forecast is OK and we do not have additional surprises.
Here is a short video, in norwegian https://youtu.be/cxavXTtJnKc
Its understandable to look at the video, but the main thing is wool close to the body is the most important. A facemask is not so important If is not below -20;)
If its wet, the most important is to stay dry. Its cold like hell If its +2 and you are wet.
Good waterproof shoes is most important, a good tight hat that cover your ears is also most important, as you loose 70% of bodyheat thru head.

Weather forecast says +4 degrees and rain for the next days (Hagfors).
This could wash away a lot of the snow?
