Why Use Glide Wax?

  • Firstly, for the maintenance of skis, there is nothing more important than waxing them as frequently as possible.
  • Secondly, to optimise the glide quality of your skis, whether for more enjoyable outings or for competitions.

What Are the Different Types of Glide Waxes?

Whether liquid or solid, there are several ranges of waxes depending on the desired performance level. Among them, we recommend the following types:

  • CH or hydrocarbon for ski maintenance
  • LF or Low Fluor or associated ranges for better hydrophobic quality during your outings.
  • HF or High Fluor or associated ranges used as a base for race waxing.
  • Powders, Cera or associated ranges used as the penultimate or final layer for races.
  • Accelerators or Speed used as the final wax for more glide during the first kilometres of the race.

What Type of Glide Wax Should I Use?

This depends on your level and commitment to the sport. If you are a recreational or occasional skier, CH or LF waxes will suffice if you want more glide. For maintenance waxing, a cold wax is recommended. Cold wax is harder and drier, offering the advantage of being more abrasion-resistant and effectively protecting the bases.

For skiers who compete or seek more glide performance, HF, Cera, and accelerator wax ranges will be necessary for the best possible glide. These waxes are applied one after the other for optimal results.

What Accessories Should I Use to Apply Glide Wax?

For the application of solid waxes, which are best for maintenance, certain accessories are necessary and involve a certain investment that will be worthwhile in the medium to long term depending on your use.

For proper waxing, you will need:

  • A waxing form
  • A waxing iron
  • Wax blocks of different temperatures to adapt to snow conditions
  • A scraper
  • A groove scraper
  • A bronze or brass brush
  • A soft nylon brush
  • Fiberlene to thoroughly clean the base after waxing

Applying glide wax is not particularly complicated, but you need to know a few tips and have the right waxes and tools. For any additional information regarding waxing, don't forget that our Nordic specialists are available to help. They will provide useful advice on the choice of waxes, tools, and application techniques.
