Wax Recommendation

Forecast Based Recommendation
We recommend the following:

Base Layer: 2 layers of SkiGo LF Graphite

Race Paraffin: SkiGo HF Yellow

Fluoro Powder: SkiGo C22 ironed in.

Top Coat: SkiGo C22, or CM10 corked in.

Kick Wax: Klister. Consider Guru Extreme 39, Rex OI, or Holmenkol Black Special.

Structure: Aggressive structure will be necessary with rain and wet snow.Holmenkol Cross Structure Tool with 2 rollers, or Aceco Finite Finish V03, or V10 covered with V05.

Testing Discussion - In almost all conditions similar to the expected warm temps, rain and wet snow on Sunday, SkiGo HF Yellow is consistently one of the best paraffins and C22 powder is always very hard to beat.

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.
