Which Temperature Ski Wax Do I Need?

To get the best performance out of your skis or snowboard you need to be using the most appropriate wax for the conditions. There are three main types of wax – cold temp, universal, and warm temp. Here's how each affects your ride:

Cold Temperature Wax: Ultramix Blue

• For use when the snow is very cold and dry.
• Works best between -8 °C and -20 °C

Benefits - Hardening additives make the wax more durable, abrasion-resistant and immune to scratching by sharp snow crystals (formed in cold conditions).

---

Universal Temperature Wax: Betamix Red

• For use when the snow temperature is variable.
• Works best between -4 °C and -14 °C

Benefits - Versatile, reliable wax that performs well when you come across a wide variety of snow/temperature conditions.

---

Warm Temperature Wax: Alphamix Yellow

• For use in slushy snow on those sunny days.
• Works best between 0 °C and -4 °C

Benefits - Hydrophobic additives make the wax more water repellent to combat wet friction.
