Ski*go Ski Waxes

Yellow/C242 XC, +20°..-1°C
This is the world famous Ski*go Yellow/C242. A special blend of warm wax plus suspended anti-friction compounds, silicon & PTFE. For older, damp snow. Works very well in dirty conditions. Many races are still won on this excellent wax and many touring hours are made more enjoyable. Comes in 60g and 200g packs. Previously named C242.

Orange XC, +1°..-5°C
For new and older snow. As the snow becomes more abrasive (granular) move to Red XC. Excellent in new fallen snow. Previously named Yellow.

Red XC, +1°..-5°C
For granular and artificial snow types. With newer and less abrasive snow use Orange XC. Excellent with well aged snow. Previously named Violet.

Violet/Ultima XC, -1°..-12°C
For older and abrasive snow. This is a very durable glide wax, particularly with snow that is agressive such as man-made snow. It can also be mixed with other waxes to increase durability, and can be used as an underlayer to the low & high fluoro waxes. An excellent "default" wax to use during training. Previously named Ultima.

Blue XC, -3°..-10°C
For new snow. This wax is designed for snow with fresh structure which has different characteristics from aged snow. Can be mixed with Ski*go Ultima as the snow ages. Previously named Newsnow.

Green XC, -7°..-20°C
For all snow types. This wax is designed for cold snow. Can be used as the underlayer for most Ski*go waxes. If the snow is very abrasive and very cold consider C380, P16 or C75. The 60g box is ideal for your personal wax box. The bulk 200g & 1000g packs are ideal for a ski team or a very active family. Previously named Blue.

Graphite
As an under-layer for the Ski*go powdered waxes such as C380 when humidity is low. Contains Ski*go's anti-static system so it is excellent to use as the underlayer when the snow has begun to get dirty and/or a lot of static may build up. Comes in two sizes: 60g for the wax box and the bulk 200g pack.

XC Soft Basewax 120g or 1000g
Soft high penetration basewax. For preparing the base so glide waxes of all types will last longer. By penetrating very deep into the ski base this wax provides an anchor for waxes layered above to have an improved durability. This is very important when the conditions are abrasive or the ski race or trip will be long. The high penetration of this wax also makes it ideal for cleaning the bases before starting a new wax job. Makes a great summer storage wax too. Comes in two sizes: 120g for the wax box and the bulk 1000g/1kg bar.

Easy-Glide, +10°..-10°C
This is a quick wax that contains no solvents. This makes it easy on the nose when using it! A second benefit is that it will not dry out your bases like solvent-based quick waxes. Apply, let dry for 3 to 5 minutes and then brush with a nylon brush. Now you are good to ski!

Easy-Glide LF, +10°..-10°C
This is a Low Fluoro quick wax that contains no solvents. Just like Easy-Glide it's easy on the nose with no solvents and it will not dry out your bases like solvent-based quick waxes. You will get a faster glide with this quick wax especially in humid and wet conditions. Apply, let dry for 3 to 5 minutes and then brush with a nylon brush. Now you are good to ski!

Easy*go Plus, +10°..+1°C

Easy*go Minus, -1°..-15°C

Easy-Skiwax Kit, +10°..-10°C
This is a fantastic kit at an amazing price. It includes the new solvent-free Easy-Glide (described above), Easy*go Plus, Easy*go Minus and a nylon brush. Regularly these items bought separately would cost $63.97. A great introductory kit for the beginner. Makes a great gift any time of the year.

Yellow/C242 LF, +20°..-1°C
The famous Ski*go C242 with a low amount of fluoronation joining the PTFE. The made have wax for soggy days so you still glide with ease. Previously known as C242 LF.

Orange LF, +1°..-5°C
For new and slightly aged snow. Excellent results alone with new falling snow. Can be used as an underlayer to pure fluoros. Previously called Yellow LF.

Red LF, +1°..-5°C
For older and granular snow. Use when snow has changed from newer snow (using Orange LF) but is not yet agressive enough to use Violet/Ultima LF. Great durability. Previously named Violet LF.

Violet/Ultima LF, -1°..-12°C
For older and aggressive snow. It is a very hard wax for this temperature range to survive aggressive snow (such as man-made snow). For training and citizen racers this is a great wax to help you have a great ski for the whole course. A must to keep in your Citizen Racer waxkit. Previously named Ultima LF.

Blue LF, -3°..-10°C
For new snow. Can't be more straight-forward than that: for fresh snow less than 24h old this is the glide wax at this temperature range. Previously named Newsnow LF.

Green LF, -7°..-20°C
For all snow conditions below -7°C. A good underlayer for Ski*go C380, C75 and P16 when humidity is normal-ish to dry. Previously named Blue LF.

Graphite LF
For use as an under-layer for the Ski*go powdered waxes in humidity dry to normal. Can really add a lot more zoom to the top coat. Also for use to harden the base when conditions are abrasive (i.e you will be using Ski*go C380 or C75).

Yellow/C242 HF, +20°..-1°C
This is the famous C242 with high fluoronation. The results are really great. Nothing beats this hard wax when conditions are above freezing except when Ski*go C22 is used as a top coat. AKA HF Yellow.

Orange HF, +1°..-5°C
For new and older snow. As the snow gets more abrasive move to Red HF. Previously known as Yellow HF.

Red HF, +1°..-5°C
For granular and artificial snow. With snow with good structure use Orange HF instead. Previously known as Violet HF.

Violet/Ultima HF, -1°..-12°C
For older and aggressive snow. Often used as an under-layer for the pure fluoros or the Ski*go powdered waxes in aggressive snow. This wax provide durability when the snow is aggressive (abrasive). It is one of our most popular waxes because of it's superb performance in difficult condition. Previous known as Ultima HF.

Blue/Newsnow HF, -3°..-10°C
For new snow. Work best with snow that has structure. As the snow loses structure move to Violet/Ultima HF or Red HF. Previously known as Newsnow HF.

Green HF, -7°..-20°C
For all snow types. Good in cold snow. When snow becomes abrasive, yet still with high humidity; use C380 or C75 on top of Green HF to go very fast. Previously known as Blue HF.

C22, +20°..0°C
For all snow conditions when the relative humidity ranges from normal to very high (60..100%). Provides lots of extra speed on wet, warm snow.

C44, +4°..-4°C
For all snow types except with new snow when relative humidity is normal to very high (60..100%). On the World Cup circuit C44 is perhaps the best and most used racing powder on aged snow and artificial snow with large crystals.

C44 Antracite, +10°..-10°C
For all snow types except with new snow when relative humidity is normal to very high (60..100%). Good with large and small snow crystals, man-made or natural snow. Excellent on courses where snow conditions and tempertures vary significantly due to causes such as terrain and wind.

C105, +1°..-8°C
For new and fine snow types with normal to very high relative humidity (60..100%). Updates C55 with a new formula that is even better.

C22 Fluid, +20°..-2°C

C44 Graphite Fluid, +3°..-9°C
For all snow types except with new snow. Use when the relative humidity is normal to very high (60..100%).

C55/C99 Fluid, +1°..-9°C
For new and fine snow types. Use with high to very high relative humidity (70..100%). At colder temperatures use Ski*go C99 powder with new/fine snow.

C105 Fluid, -4°..-15°C
For new snow & fine grained snow types. Use with high to very high relative humidity (70..100%).

C22, +20°..-4°C
For all snow conditions when the relative humidity ranges from normal to very high (60..100%).

C44, +3°..-9°C
For all snow types except with new snow when relative humidity is normal to very high (60..100%). When warmer move to C22.

C105, +1°..-20°C
For new snow and fine snow types with normal to very high relative humidity (60..100%).

P16, -4°..-25°C
For artificial and abrasive snow conditions when the relative humidity ranges from normal to very high (65..100%). The recommended underlayer is Ski*go LF or HF Blue glide for the highest speed.

C75, -4°..-25°C
For snow that is aged or old with normal humidity (40..70%). A low friction glider that works well when dry friction will be a larger part of glide. The recommended underlayer is Ski*go regular or LF Ultima glide.

C380, -7°..-25°C
For snow that is cold, dry and abrasive with relative humidity of 0..60%. Can be used alone in very cold conditions or added with other waxes to improve their longevity due to abrasive snow conditions. The recommended underlayer is Ski*go Graphite (regular or LF). An alternative underlayer is Ski*go Graphite mixed with Ski*go LF Blue for a faster glide when snow conditions are clean and the humidity to closer to normal (>50%). This ski wax is a World Cup winner when the conditions are very cold. We've tested this wax at -33°C versus several other brands and C380 was the clear winner everytime.

C242-HFA, +20°..-7°C, 60g
For all snow conditions with relative humidity of 60..100%.

Yellow-HFA, +1°..-5°C, 60g

C380-A, -7°..-25°C, 60g
For snow that is cold, dry and abrasive with relative humidity of 0..60%. Can be used alone in very cold conditions or added with other waxes to improve their longevity due to abrasive snow conditions.

Alpine Violet, +1°..-8°C, 1000g
A non-fluoronated glide wax for all snow conditions for alpine and snowboard. Designed as a racer's training wax this durable wax is great on the slopes for recreational activities too. The large bulk size saves you money. It's the perfect bundle for a wax team, avid racer or an active family. You may also be interested in the 1000g bulk high penetration base wax or the 1000g bulk blue glide wax.

Basewax, +3°..-20°C
This improves the durability of your later wax jobs. New formulation starting in the 08/09 season that has team wax techs giving loads of positive reports.
Important in conditions that are icy and/or abrasive because it helps the kick wax stay on your ski instead of coming off or smearing into the glide zone. Apply a thin layer and cork it smooth. It is suggested that you heat the basewax into the base then allow it to cool before layering the wax-of-the-day on.

XC Yellow, +5°..-1°C
For cold snow transforming into warm and wet snow. When the snow is softer and/or it is raining recreational skiers should move to Ski*go Universal Klister while racers can try Ski*go Fluoro Silver before a klister. Previously named "Silver Special".

XC Orange, +3°..-2°C
For Variable snow conditions including damp snow. Move to Silver when getting warmer and the snow is still firm. Move to Fluoro Red if conditions are wetter. Move to Red Special if the snow is clumping or icing. Previously named "Yellow Special" -- so famous that this information is still listed on the label.

XC Red, 0°..-2°C
For all snow conditions. Move to Ski*go XC Orange (aka Yellow Special) as snow gets more damp or as the snow loses structure. Previously named "Red Special".

XC Violet, -1°..-8°C
For all snow conditions with good firmness. Move to XC Red as the snow becomes softer. If the snow is clumping or icing on the ski move to Ski*go XC Blue. Racers: you can layer XC Violet and XC Blue when you need to just slightly reduce snow clumping and need to maintain the grip. Previously named "Purple Special".

XC Blue, -3°..-10°C
For fine grained snow. This temperature range matches the conditions when most people are skiing (recreational, fitness and racing). If the snow is icing or clumping move to Ski*go XC Green. If the grip is not enough move to Ski*go XC Violet. Previously named "Blue Extra".

XC Green, -7°..-20°C
For fine grained and older snow. As the snow gets firmer it will penetrate the wax more. This firm wax will prevent clumping and icing. Remember to keep each wax layer thin particularly as the temperature is lower.

HF Blue, -1°..-20°C
Previously Racing Universal.
This is truly an amazing grip wax. This is a must have for racing and training. While more expensive than other kick waxes the results are worth it. Perfect for loppets and training when all you want to do is carry one wax. There has been great success using this kick wax in races in Europe. We've used this wax at -25°C and found it working really well. At the warm end (-1°C) transition Ski*go HF Red if you need more grip. If the snow still has sharp crystals or you want a little more glide then try Ski*go HF Violet.

HF Violet (Newsnow), -2°..-15°C
AKA Racing Newsnow.
This member of the Race series is designed for new snow that is more penetrating because of the snow crystals being fresh and sharp. Like the other Race waxes it has a very wide temperature range. The glide portion of this kick wax is very good. If you need just a little more grip use the HF Blue. All of the Race series contain a special new fluoro just for Ski*go kick waxes.

HF Red, +1°..-3°C
AKA Racing Warm.
The companion to HF Blue -1°..-20°C because of its success. For conditions warmer than HF Blue. Still for all snow conditions except new snow (it is grippier). This kick wax covers the most difficult temperature range to kick wax. This means less time fiddling and more time with good grip. This kickwax can often be used out of it's temperature range (colder) in special conditions (e.g. when HF Blue is not gripping enough).

HF Yellow, +4°..0°C
AKA Racing Extra
The lastest addition to the Ski*go Race kick wax series. For all snow types above freezing. The HF Yellow is exactly that: extra grip. If there's not enough grip with this kick wax then it to klister you must go (we recommend the HF Yellow Klister which is part of this series). The application of this wax is, quite simply, enjoyable. Most kick waxes for this temperature range clump and spread thin tentacles of wax. This kick wax applies as easily as wax deemed for below freezing.

LF Orange, +3°..-2°C
For wet, mushy snow, and when falling snow is mixed with rain or mist. The snow will still have good structure. If the snow is losing structure move to Ski*go XC Red Klister or Ski*go HF Yellow Klister.

HF Violet, +0°..-6°C
For mushy, wet snow, and when falling snow is mixed with rain. If conditions are getting icy move to Ski*go XC Violet Klister or Ski*go HF Violet Klister.

Tour Pack
Three kick waxes and a synthetic cork. Great for recreational and fitness skiers. An ideal gift pack too. Kick waxes included (different than photo above) are Ski*go XC Blue (-3°..-10°), XC Red (0°..-2°C) and XC Yellow (-1°..+5°) each in a 45g tin. This is a real deal: separately these items total $24.22.

Tour Pack Deluxe
Comes with two kick waxes (Blue Extra, -3°..-10°C, and Red Special, 0°..-2°C; 45g each), a glider (Blue; 60g) and a synthetic cork. Ideal for recreational skiers who classic and skate ski, or for skiers just starting. This is a real deal: separately these items total $26.23.

Universal, +3°..-2°C
A tar-based klister that is ideal for the recreational skier. Works well in a mixture of conditions. Use when regular kick waxes are not providing enough grip. Good when the snow is still well-structured but damp. Also good when new snow covers icy crystals underneath. Easy and smooth application.

Orange, +10°..+4°C
For very warm conditions when the snow is very wet. Use when very warm and the snow is still with good structure (i.e. new fallen or falling snow). Easy to apply into a thin layer.

Silver, +5°..0°C
For snow that is wet or damp, and is starting to lose it's structure and/or becoming dirty.

Red, +5°..+1°C
For snow that is wet or damp and still has lost most of its structure. If Red is icing or clumping move to Ski*go Violet klister. If the snow is dirty or Red has been losing grip over time (indicating there is dirt in the snow) move to Ski*go Silver klister. At warmer temperatures move to Ski*go Orange.

Violet, +3°..-4°C
For snow conditions that are a mixture of ice and aged snow. Not for use with new snow. Move to Ski*go Universal if new snow is covering icy snow. Move to Ski*go Red Klister when conditions are at the warm end of this wax and wet. A tough klister that resists abrasion.

Blue, -3°..-8°C
For snow that is crusty or frozen. The track will be glazed or icy due to thawing and freezing. A tougher klister than Ski*go Violet that is very abrasion resistant.

Racing Fluoro, +20°..+3°C
AKA HF Yellow Klister
A klister designed for very wet and warm conditions. The addition of fluoro helps wick away free water allowing better snow crystal penetration while a the same time dramatically reducing dirt pick-up. Excellent glide properties too! For all snow types at the listed temperature range. It's one that should be in every wax box.

HF Violet, +2°..-2°C
NEW for 08/09!
A klister designed for grainy snow conditions. The addition of fluoro helps wick away free water allowing better snow crystal penetration while a the same time dramatically reducing dirt pick-up. Excellent glide properties too! A great companion to HF Yellow Klister.
