Weather Based Recommendation
Recommendation
We recommend the following:
Base Layer: Ski*Go LF Graphite
Race Paraffin: Holmenkol Matrix Blue
Fluoro Powder: Holmenkol Mid 08 Powder
Top Coat: Holmenkol Mid 08 Block
Discussion – This is a weather based recommendation, no testing was involved. For those with multiple pairs of skis we would recommend testing Ski*Go C105 Powder for feel against the Mid 08 Powder. Other waxes that are worth testing if resources allow are Holmekol Mid and Holmenkol Cold powders and blocks.
note: BNS imports Holmenkol and SkiGo waxes, and also sells waxes from Swix, Toko, Rode, Solda, Rex, Guru, Innovax, Magnar and others. We search for the fastest waxes for our customers and our testing is professional, objective and transparent. We make our best effort to test what we think is the best from each brand. However, given that we are testing more options from Holmenkol and SkiGo, there is a bias toward those brands. With this full disclosure, you can assess the legitimacy of our testing yourself. Visit Swix and Toko for their official recommendations. If you have any questions please contact us.
