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 :-)

Evening all,
Just wanted to know what major differences there are between training wax and race wax apart from the price.
Thanks,

Fluorocarbon's quantity, quality and content normally. Different compounds used for race wax v recreational wax, that and some suckers will buy anything!

briand6868, In my view, unless you have two pairs of race skis for each discipline there isn't much difference, whatever you put on will get mostly worn off during course inspection and warmup runs.

What wax do you normally use ?

What type of races are you doing? I wouldn't waste your money on race wax I'd put it towards spending more time on snow.

For dryslope you just want something hard like a swix ch6 or ch4, your fooling yourself if you think something with fluorocarbon is going to make a difference on plastic.

briand6868, The Toko stuff should be fine.

I think you will find that sharp edges are more important than wax.

Dec, 4matt is specially made for plastic slope stuff, fluoro will be only used on snow - I do know a little bit about tuning but I sometimes like to find out if there's anything else I should know Very Happy
