SWIX CH 6 -5/-10 Cross-Country Ski Wax - Blue

Cross-country skiing is above all a sliding sport, so you must maintain the base of your skis to have the most fun on the slopes.
Waxing reduces grip (suction cup effect) and improves glide, optimising the compatibility of your ski base with the characteristics of the snow (air temperature, snow quality, etc.).
You can maintain your skis yourself or make an appointment with a professional at a workshop

When buying skis, we recommend that you prepare the base well to achieve an optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are best in order to "nourish" the base properly.
You then need to wax your skis regularly according to: how long and how often you ski; and the snow abrasion on recent excursions.
Don't wait until the base turns a whitish colour to wax your skis!

The art of a good waxing lies in choosing the best product according to the weather conditions. How often you wax your skis will depend not only on how long and how often you ski, but also on the quality of the snow which is determined by the air temperature. Use this temperature as a reference when choosing the "colour" of your wax.
Each wax "colour" corresponds to an ideal temperature of use.
