If you're not racing all purpose hotwax will most certainly do the trick. It's easy to apply and easy to scrape off....I like swix as well b/c it's reasonably priced. If you're not racing you don't need to be very particular about your waxing. I would NOT use the paste.....that's my only suggestion.

Purl wax. $5 at www.purlracing.com and one brick lasts all year. The stuff is money. Made for boardercross racers and freeriders because it accellerates quickly, handles jumps and helps maintain speed on varried terrain. Perfect for poor skiers who take care of their gear.

Higher the 'Hydrocarbon' content the better. A;so the more expensive, but that's the main ingredent that makes the snow slide faster on your base, bascly.

I'm a big fan of a company called Fastwax. Based in MN, it works well around here in shitty snow and on ice.

Toko, you can get it high floronatated or not, whatever your budget allows. Its how you prepare the wax not what type of wax is what makes your skis fast.

if any body puts cera f on and uses it for ridin in the park i oughtta slap you!
for general ridin where optimum speed is not an issue just use cheap generic wax and drip iron scrape and then brush.
