Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Butta Wax...anyone tried it?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I'll be in the UK in a few weeks, and thought about picking some of this up - in particular the Butta Wax Butta Pro. Anyone used/using it? Just thought I would mix it up a little (I'm usually using various SWIX blends based on temps).

Thanks

I have some butta wax here. It is green. I neither know nor care the temperature it is intended for.

It has worked fine for me, but I'm no ceraphile... I suspect I'd have a hard job telling good from bad wink

no, Swix is great. Was just after some opinions. At the very least (if the stuff is garbage), I can use it as storage wax next summer Happy

i use butta pro it slides pretty well, the only thing you'll find is it's slightly sticky when scraping.

@jogi, i bet your great fun at a dinner party.

@Lilledonmarco, ive been using butta now for a few trips and think its fine, i noticed it gets sticky when very very cold, saying that i noticed other people struggling on said cold day and i cant imagine all of us were using butta. I am a completely average snowboarder with about 12 weeks on the snow and i'm not sure i could tell the difference between different waxes

I've got some Butta, their regular stuff and their 'pro'. It's as good as any other wax I've used and certainly good enough for any recreational skiing that might be done. I was a ski tech many moons ago, and worked with the company that imported Swix at the time, so while I'm not a mad keen wax geek, I have a pretty reasonable clue as to what I'm doing.

thanks all for the input. I can get Swix very cheaply here in Norway, so I guess I will stick to what I have been using.

I've used Butta.... it smells great!

That's about the only difference I could notice between that and the usual Holmenkol stuff I use.

As far as "it slides pretty well" means, it's not really something you can say Wink Unless you have years and years of experience in racing and waxing for racing, I'm pretty sure you don't have feeling to say what slides good and what not.


An alternate reading of this is that if you're not a serious and experienced racer who really needs that extra tenth of a second, then caring about your wax choice isn't really very useful, because there's no way you'll be able to tell wink
