Frequently Asked Questions
Waxing your skis is essential for maintaining speed, control, and durability on the slopes. Here’s why:
Better Glide & Speed – Wax reduces friction between your skis and the snow, allowing for a smoother, faster ride.
Base Protection – Wax creates a protective layer on your ski base, preventing it from drying out and reducing damage from abrasive snow.
Enhanced Performance in All Conditions – Different wax types help optimize performance based on temperature and snow type, ensuring the best experience in any environment.
Longer Ski Lifespan – Regular waxing helps preserve your skis, keeping the base in good condition and extending their longevity. Take care of your skis, and they will last much longer!
The simple answer – waxing keeps your skis performing at their best!
Regular waxing keeps your skis in top condition, ensuring better glide and protection. So the simple answer is as often as possible.
In general, you should wax your skis every 4 to 6 days of skiing to maintain optimal performance. However, if you frequently ski in harsh conditions or notice a decline in glide efficiency, more frequent waxing is recommended.
For Race or Performance Skiers: To achieve maximum speed and precision, waxing after every session is highly recommended.
We offer hard waxes, liquid waxes, graphite-infused waxes, and essential ski maintenance accessories.

Graphite Waxes (Hard & Liquid) – Specifically designed for coarse, old, or dirty snow, graphite wax reduces static friction, ensuring a smoother and more efficient glide.
Accessories & Maintenance Tools – We offer essential ski maintenance equipment, including scrapers, brushes, ski straps, and liquid wax applicators, to keep your skis in top condition.
Air Temperature Range:
Yellow Wax: 0°C to +10°C (Wet & Warm Snow)
Red Wax: -4°C to +4°C (Mixed Conditions)
Purple Wax: -12°C to -2°C (Medium Cold)
Blue Wax: -22°C to -12°C (Cold & Dry Snow)
Choosing the right ski wax depends on the temperature and snow conditions. Using the correct wax ensures optimal glide, speed, and control.
Here’s a simple guide:
Yellow Wax | 0°C to +10°C | Best for wet and warm snow, reducing moisture absorption and preventing ski drag. |
Red Wax | -4°C to +4°C | Designed for mixed snow conditions, where temperatures fluctuate between freezing and thawing. |
Purple Wax | -12°C to -2°C | Ideal for medium cold temperatures. Offers a balance between hardness and glide. |
Blue Wax | -22°C to -12°C | Best for cold and dry snow. Provides durability and excellent glide in freezing conditions. |
Graphite Wax | | Recommended for coarse, old, or dirty snow to reduce static friction and enhance performance.

If you're unsure, consider the most common temperatures you'll be skiing in and choose a wax that matches those conditions. For the best glide, always check the forecast and select the right wax accordingly!
Start by cleaning your skis thoroughly. Melt the wax onto the base using a waxing iron, then spread it evenly. Let it cool and harden before scraping off the excess wax. Finish by buffing the base with a brush until smooth and glossy for optimal glide.
Clean your skis thoroughly. Use the applicator or a small brush to spread the wax evenly onto the base. Let it dry until the thinner evaporates. Once dried, polish with a stiff-bristle brush for a smooth and glossy finish.
