 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys,
I have written a blog on the fundamentals of waxing. I am keen to gather some more data from anyone who has been involved in wax tests?
Link to the blog - http://batterseaski.co.uk/why-should-i-wax-my-skis-the-science/
Dominator Wax has some good information which I have referenced, but I am keen to gather any more data from test scenarios. I have been using Data Wax (Glasgow based) for the past couple of seasons, but keen to hear any thoughts on what wax brands are working for people?
Happy Christmas!

Few if any of you will remotely care to bother knowing about Hertel. Funny, while the brand is too small a company to be a $$$ name sponsor such as Toko, Swix, Holmenkol........, therefore officially used by the US Ski Federation who are gunning for money as do others.............., it has and continues to be used by their techs for decades, however surreptitiously. They just do not admit it. As well, various other federation and individuals who go for wins, speed records, of which it has contributed over decades. Tons of wins, tons of medals. It IS a full temperature range product due to its proprietary chemistry that no other brand possesses. Tough. Fast. Simple. Who knew? "Less" IS more.............

Whatever the stuff that Jon sells at the Piste Office (I think its Dominator Zoom) is good. Also, I think it might be the only one you can re-iron one more time after it has completely cooled (a la a poor mans hotbox). 2 applications for the price of 1!

I can't post any useful data on it but I have always used Butta and my skis are always pretty slippery! It seems to be marketed as a snowboard wax but they're both made of the same stuff! It also smells really nice and looks after the polar bears.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@joeyg, glad to hear you're using Data. It's made by an old mate BASI trainer Ed Pirie.

@dp yes I seen those guys at the ski show. Their wax is super eco friendly from memory.

I use Hertal FC739. I grab it from Amazon US. Works out around $Au5 per snowboard per wax. It's brilliant and notice I can burn past people on the flat sections where they have to step out.
