How to Wax Correctly

Remove dirt and old wax, and work the base dry and clean. New wax holds much better on a clean base.

Drip the wax that matches the temperature onto the base with the iron at exactly 126 °C — evenly along the full length.

Iron the wax in with steady, even strokes — never let the iron sit still. Don't overheat it — the right temperature protects the base.

Let the ski cool down completely to room temperature — ideally 15–20 minutes. That's how the wax really soaks in.

Scrape off the excess with the blade, then brush it out — until the structure lies free. Ready for the piste.

Most common mistake: iron too hot. Better a bit cooler with more strokes.

Don't scrape off too little — leftover wax slows you down instead of helping you glide.

Always choose your wax by snow temperature, not by habit.
