SWIX WAX TIP - Gives you a better skiing experience

Thank you for choosing Swix Wax Tip, the application that provides recommendations and instructions for applying wax and prepping your skis. Tips are based on where you are, or where you want to be. And of course, it's free.

New/fine grained snow
New snow: Snow fallen within the last 3 days.
Fine grained snow: Some time has passed since last snowfall. Fine grained snow has somewhat rounded crystals than new snow. The tip will be the same for new and fine grained snow. Sometimes we will recommend a harder (colder) wax for new snow compared to fine grained snow. The biggest challenge will always occur around zero degrees celcius.

Coarse grained snow - in both cold and warm conditions
Transformed snow, snow crystals that have been exposed to melting (above freezing) and freezing on one or several occasions.

Simple wax tips
A good option for everyone looking for good grip and glide the fastest and simplest way.

Advanced wax tips
Wax tips based on additional equipment such as a waxing table and waxing iron. The wax will stick better to the ski base and will last longer.

Usage
The first wax tip is always based on your location. The location service positions you within approximately 50 meters in populated areas, and slightly more in rural areas. Temperature and weatherdata is provided by Yr.no.

Swix provides you with wax tips for both new/fine grained snow and coarse grained snow. If the snow sticks to the ski base or if the skis are slippery, we provide tips to rectify. The snow type can change locally and can affect the type of wax to use. Feel free to bring waxes for hotter and colder conditions to ensure an enjoyable day.
