Wax Temperature Chart

Slide Mountain Snowsport waxes are formulated for the snow conditions. Colder snow is harder and requires harder wax to reduce sliding friction and to be durable. Warmer snow requires softer wax and better anti-wetting to reduce the friction caused by the thick layer of water wetting the running base.
