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 :-)

Good value base / storage wax

 Poster: A snowHead

Any suggestions?

Looking for inexpensive base wax / summer storage / general purpose wax for the ever growing family ski collection ( 5 pairs adult skis 2 pairs children's skis- this soaks up a lot of wax)

Also some goodish top wax for going fast- have some hard wax for quick and dirty base repairs.

Keen not to spend £12 on one small slab.

ed123, toko universal for storage. Contact Jon Coster for 400g dominator universal for using on skis on a day-to-day basis - I have the same problem re our family's skis...a lot of waxing and scraping which, on a good day, is relaxing. On a rushed morning, hell.

Top wax...avoid flourinated wax...very bad for the environment (and lungs, if overheated) use hydrocarbons - toto blue is actually very good (especially this year in weird snow we had) and is very good for cannon-snow and spring snow. Re going fast...more important to have wax protecting your base than making you go fast - technique far more important than wax (don't fall into the 'all the gear and no idea' camp) and how you put the wax on, and how you scrape and prep (sharp scraper and good structure in base).

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

ed123, How about this.

I use other waxes from the Vola range for racing and training.

spyderjon, Would you also recommend this as a general purpose wax for applying through the winter, or simply for storage?

Chamcham, I use it as a general purpose wax (and so do my mates although they don't know it Cool ) and it seems OK.

ed123, Edge & Wax sell Holmenkol universal wax 250g for £10.00 never used it.
But spyderjon, Dominator Zoom is a great day to day wax and is only £15.50 for 200g or 400g £28.00 I'd go for the Zoom
