Nordic Glide Waxes
The glide waxes are divided into six categories:
Fast Glider Waxes
Easy to apply and use. For recreational and training skiers.
Perfect for using as a glide update during a long skiing session.
Application:
Apply as a thin layer Let dry for 10 minutes. Polish with
a quick brushing of a nylon brush.
Then you're ready to ski. It couldn't be easier!
XC (Non-Fluoro) Glide Waxes
These regular glide waxes are an excellent value for all conditions
for recreational, training and racing skiers. When humidity conditions
are low these waxes can perform better than many fluoronated waxes.
These waxes can be used as the under-layer to the low, high and pure
fluoronated waxes and the cold powders to help improve durability.
Application:
Allow waxing iron to warm to temperature indicated on box. Drip wax
onto the ski base in small dots evenly from tip to tail. Warm wax dots
with the iron so that the wax flows across the ski. The wax should remain
molten for a short period of time. Let the skis cool (at least 10 minutes).
Now scrape the excess wax from the base and follow by brushing with a
nylon brush. For Violet and Green you may brush with a brass brush because
they are so hard.
Yellow/C242 XC, 60g or 200g
For all snow types, +20°..-1°C, humidity 0..100%, iron 125°C.
This is one of the waxes that has made Ski*go world famous.
Yellow/C242 handles snow that is rapidly aging and new snow at the same time.
An excellent choice when new snow is falling onto an aged, damp track at or
just below freezing.
The glide from this wax is hard to beat! A must for
every wax box. 60g & 200g.
Previously C242.
|
Orange XC, 60g
New to older snow types, +1°..-5°C, humidity 0..100%, iron 125°C.
With fresh snow, new snow, and snow with good snowflake structure Orange XC
is your choice just below freezing. 60g & 200g.
Previously Yellow.
|
Red XC, 60g
For granular and artifical snow types, +1°..-5°C, humidity 0..100%, iron 145°C.
When the snow has been heavily tilled or is very aged Red XC
will provide you durability and glide. 60g & 200g.
Previously Violet.
|
Violet/Ultima XC, 60g
For older and agressive/abrasive snow types, -1°..-12°C, humidity 0..100%, iron 130°C.
Violet XC is an excellent choice when preparing skis ahead of time
for enjoyment or training. Ideal with older and more aggressive snow, Violet
XC handles other snow types so well that it is the "default" training wax
for many teams. 60g & 200g.
Previously Ultima.
|
Blue XC, 60g
For new snow, -3°..-10°C, humidity 0..100%, iron 130°C.
An excellent choice for recreation skiing and training at the start
of the season when there is a good base of new snow. Racers will
appreciate Blue XC when conditions turn dry to very dry after a fresh
snowfall. 60g & 200g.
Previously Newsnow.
|
Green XC, 60g
For all snow types, -7°..-20°C, humidity 0..100%, iron 145°C.
For all snow types including man-made (artificial snow). Used often in cold
and very dry conditions (RH <40%).
60g & 200g.
Previously Blue.
|
Graphite XC, 60g
For all snow types, for all temperatures, humidity 0..100%, iron 145°C.
Use as the under-layer for C380 and C380-A.
Use in conditions when the ski base needs to be hardened and/or when static
build-up needs to be reduced. 60g & 200g.
|
Soft High Penetration Base Wax
For all snow types, +2°..-15°C, humidity 0..100%, iron 125°C.
This high penetration base wax is designed work deep into the
ski base. This makes the ski bases highly saturated in ski wax.
A deep penetrating base wax is essential to the durability and
effectiveness of all other waxes, particularly the colder waxes.
The base wax provides the binding between ski base and glide wax.
The better the binding the longer the glide wax will last (durability).
A durable glide wax means a more consistent and effective glide.
This basewax is also an excellect cleaning wax because its deep penetration
will float out other waxes and dirt from the ski base. Ideal as a storage wax.
Works with glides waxes of all brands. 120g & 1000g.
|
|
Low Fluoro Glide Waxes
These low fluoro glide waxes provide excellent performance for all types
of snow. These wax provide optimal speed when humidity conditions are 50..75%.
These waxes can be used as the under-layer to the high and pure
fluoronated waxes and the cold powders to help improve durability.
For use by racing, training and fitness skiers.
Fluoro, or fluoronated waxes provide more speed in normal to
high humidity conditions. The fluoro is more water repelling than regular
waxes. Naturally this can benefit skiers doing races and loppets.
Fluoro can also benefit beginners learning to skate ski because it
allows them to focus on learning the technique rather than "muscling"
their way through when the damp snow is slowing the skis.
Application:
Allow waxing iron to warm to temperature indicated on box. Drip wax
onto the ski base in small dots evenly from tip to tail. Warm wax dots
with the iron so that the wax flows across the ski. The wax should remain
molten for a short period of time. Let the skis cool (at least 10 minutes).
Now scrape the excess wax from the base and follow by brushing with a
nylon brush. For Violet and Green you may brush with a brass brush because
they are so hard.
Hints:
In the -5°..-8°C range blend Orange and Green together 1:1 when the
snow is not abrasive. For longer races/loppets use the matching regular
glide as an underlayer for increased durability. In dry conditions racers
may find the LF glide waxes having better performance than HF waxes (testing
always proves).
Yellow/C242 LF
For all snow types, +20°..-1°C, humidity 50..75%, iron 125°C.
This is world famous Yellow/C242 with a low fluoronation.
Yellow/C242 handles snow that is rapidly aging and new snow at the same time.
An excellent choice when new snow is falling onto an aged, damp track at
or just below freezing.
The glide from this wax is hard to beat! A must for
every wax box. 60g & 200g.
Previously C242 LF.
|
Orange LF
New to older snow types. +1°..-5°C, humidity 50..75%, iron 125°C.

High Fluoro Glide Waxes
These high fluoro glide waxes provide high performance for all types
of snow. These wax provide optimal speed when humidity conditions are >65%.
These waxes can be used as the under-layer to the high and pure
fluoronated waxes and the cold powders to help improve durability.
For use in races and time trials.
Fluoro, or fluoronated waxes provide more speed in normal to
high humidity conditions. The fluoro is more water repelling than regular
waxes. Naturally this can benefit skiers doing races and loppets.
Fluoro can also benefit beginners learning to skate ski because it
allows them to focus on learning the technique rather than "muscling"
their way through when the damp snow is slowing the skis.
Application:
Allow waxing iron to warm to temperature indicated on box. Drip wax
onto the ski base in small dots evenly from tip to tail. Warm wax dots
with the iron so that the wax flows across the ski. The wax should remain
molten for a short period of time. Let the skis cool (at least 10 minutes).
Now scrape the excess wax from the base and follow by brushing with a
horsehair or
nylon brush. For Violet and Green you may lightly brush with a brass brush
because they are so hard, but do the finishing polish with a nylon brush.
Hints:
In the -5°..-8°C range blend Orange and Green together 1:1 when the
snow is not abrasive. For longer races/loppets use the matching regular
glide as an underlayer for increased durability. Double wax the HF
layer if it is the top layer to ensure maximum coverage for top speed
and acceleration.
Yellow/C242 HF
For all snow types, +20°..-1°C, humidity 65..100%, iron 125°C.
This is world famous Yellow/C242 with a high fluoronation.
Yellow/C242 handles snow that is rapidly aging and new snow at the same
time. An excellent choice when new snow is falling onto an aged, damp track
at or just below freezing. The glide from this wax is hard to beat! A
must for every wax box. 50g & 200g.
Previously C242 HF.
|
Orange HF
New to older snow types, +1°..-5°C, humidity 65..100%, iron 125°C.

50g & 200g.
Previously Yellow HF.
|
Red HF
For granular and artifical snow types, +1°..-5°C, humidity 65..100%, iron 145°C.
When granular snow is damp and soft (particularly from solar effects)
Red HF will give you the advantage when used alone and as an underlayer.
50g & 200g.
Previously Violet HF.

Pure Fluoro Glide Waxes
These are high performance glide waxes for racing and for individuals
who want the fastest glide possible. Ski*go pure fluoro ski waxes
are well known and used with the World Cup races.
C44 is the best known and used of these Ski*go waxes.
Ski*go recommends using the Ski*go High Fluoro Glide waxes as the under-layer
before applying these waxes.
The Ski*go Fluid glides are the latest technological advancement
in ski wax glide. These are easy to apply and provide very swift results!
Ski*go research and development continues to increase the speed of your skis!
The fluid pure fluoro waxes increase the toughness of the base surface so
that you maintain your glide in agressive & abrasive snow conditions.
Application:
For more specific application details click here.
Always allow the waxing iron to warm to the temperature indicated on bottle.
Ensure the waxing iron is clean of any/all residue!
Hints:
Always apply a HF underlayer for maximum durability of the top pure
fluoro layer and best speed.
Double wax the top layer to ensure maximum coverage for top speed
and acceleration. Even at cold temperatures the relative humidity can
be very high which makes the conditions excellent for pure fluorocarbon
waxes such as C110 and C105.
For applying fluoros you can view our
if you haven't applied fluoros before.
Powders
Ski*go powders are recommended to be ironed over an underlayer of Ski*go
HF glide (matching the conditions) for best durability. Can be roto-corked
or hand corked for shorter distances. Ensure your iron is at the correct
temperature setting for best adhesion to the underlayer.
Ski*go C44 is one of the oldest and most successful top-coats in the
skiing world. C44 is closely followed by C22 for its success. Several
generations of skiers now have won races over the past quarter century
with C44 and C22.
The younger C105 has been proving itself repeatedly at the International,
National and local races.
Always follow correct safety protocol when applying -- good ventlation of
the workspace is the first step and then a P100 filter mask.
C22 Powder
All snow types, +20°..0°C, humidity 60..100%, iron 190°C.
Use C22 for extra speed on wet & dirty snow. C22 is very resistant
to dirt and this is often noticed when tested against other brands after
several kilometers. C22 performs its best when the underlayer is Ski*go
Yellow/C242 HF. Very often the winning wax at national championship races. 30g.
|
C44/7 Powder
Grainy snow, +1°..-14°C, humidity 60..100%,

CM10
The newest addition and advancement from Skigo for fast skis. Available
starting November 2010 for the 2010/11 ski season.
Granular/old snow, +20°..-2°C, humidity 40..100 %
For grainular/old snow, and warm to very warm temperatures.
First prepare the ski base with Skigo LF Graphite and then Skigo HF Yellow
(occationally HF Orange).
Rub on a thin even layer over the glide zone(s). Then cork with a hand or roto
natural cork for distances up to 5km; over 5km warm into the ski base with
a clean waxing iron at 160°C. After resting for 10-15 minutes, brush
carefully/lightly with a horsehair brush. Do not polish with a nylon or
fine metal brush after.
|
Solids
Ski*go Solids can be applied by hand cork, roto-cork or ironed when a thick
enough layer is applied. Always use the appropraite Ski*go HF glide wax
as an underlayer so that the Solid can adhere correctly. Ski*go Solids
can be used as the final top-coat over Ski*go Powders and Fluids.
C22 Solid
All snow types, +20°..-2°C, humidity 60..100%
Hand cork or roto-cork. Fluoroblocks give extreme glide and are typically
used for shorter distances and races. 20g.
|
C44/7 Solid
All snow types except new snow, +3°..-9°C, humidity 60..100%.
Hand cork or roto-cork. With older and coarse snow just below freezing
this Solid block is well-known for adding measureable zip to your skis. 20g.

Fluids
Ski*go fluids exhibit the same durability as the Ski*go powders when
applied by roto-cork. The fluids create a harder surface that matches to
snow conditions that harder. "Harder" conditions can include new snow that
is drier, coarse snow and icy snow just above freezing but not yet getting
soft. You can top the fluids with the Ski*go Solid blocks as suggested
in the Ski*go Racing Wax Table.

Extreme Cold & Racing Powders
These 3 products give extra high speed glide when it is cold and difficult
to wax. These are special synthetic powders for cold and extremely
cold conditions. When regular glide waxes cannot produce enough water
film you are left skiing entirely with dry friction (you will hear
the snow squeaking under the skis as you move). These tough waxes
resist frictional wear while improving glide. Can be used for all snow
types including new snow, dry snow, artifical snow and wet "drift-snow".
Ironed into the ski base like regular wax after being sprinkled
across the base. We recommend that regular Ski*go Graphite be used
as an under-layer in very-dry to dry conditions and Ski*go Graphite LF in
regular humidity. When conditions are very cold (below -17°C) use
Ski*go Green LF in normal humidity and Ski*go Green HF in high humidity
as the underlayer. Do not be fooled into thinking that the humidity is
low only because it is very cold out! Use for racing, training and loppets where
durability is key. At extreme cold (below -25°C) these waxes continue
to perform superbly.
Because of the hardness of these waxes they are ground into powder
at the factory to make application easier. While in powder form both C380
and C75 are non-fluoro.
C380
For cold and/or dry and/or abrasive snow, -7°..-25°C, humidity 0..60%, iron 150°C.
60g.
This non-fluoro glide is rarely beaten when it is very cold!
When facing cold training and racing days C380 will help you get glide.
C380 shows great versatility when combined with other Ski*go waxes.
Regularly used over Ski*go LF & HF Green. To improve durability when
used in longer races and loppet we suggest that you do a base preparation
with Ski*go Soft before adding the Green or Graphite underlayers.
|
C75
For old/aged snow, -4°..-25°C, humidity 40..70%, iron 150°C.
Used when the humidity is normal to high in older snow. 60g.
|
P16
For artificial and agressive/abrasive snow, -4°..-25°C, humidity 65..100%, iron 155°C.
At higher humidities in abrasive snow conditions P16 will provide
the glide you need while protecting the ski base. This will be noticed
significantly when the sun is beaming onto the track. 60g.
