Poster: A snowHead

Kids complaining skis were very sticky in the super cold conditions today. Will be similar tomorrow morning and then warming up during the day. Which wax to use?

Awww! Poor mites. How absolutely frightful. On top of the nightmare that we're all enduring

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Go with the racing one, it's red and that's always fastest, them's the rules
Looks like it's got temp range to be reasonable, buff it out really thin to almost nothing.

I got some sort of ecowax recently that is meant to be better for the environment - I took one for the environment if that's the case, because it was quite hard (literally) to use, but seems to work pretty well. See I do care even if I haven't got an electric F-150 yet!
Make sure you have good ventilation for some high-performance waxes because they can make some nasty fumes
For super cold temperature, you'd want the lower temp range wax ideally, but since it's spring, it would seem unlikely to stay that way, in fact you might even consider the warmer wax than the ones you have (can't see the temp range on the middle one in the pic)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Went for the blue one... Man City lording over Utd and Liverpool at the moment so thought red might be a bad omen

I wouldn't use any of them but I guess the shops are shut now.
Swix uses snow temperature for their wax so the red is for fairly warm conditions.

I would have gone with Zoom, great temperature range and every day is different, make sure its well brushed out. I also carry a Zardoz puck for any sticky situations

If it's down much below minus 20 then snow gets squeaky.
Nothing "universal" is going to be much use at all.

Went for the blue one, brushed it well seemed to work ok

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

This time of year I'd be on spring wax, and be waxing my skis every other day.

You know it makes sense.

I am still skiing a few different skis with Zoom and only noticing minor stickiness. It can be -10 in the morning and high teens in the afternoon.
