Good Wax in Bulk?

Been using Dakine and Swix but can't find any of it in bulk. Tired of running out of the little sticks and buying a bunch of smaller packages. Plus I figure bulk would be much cheaper. So does anyone know how to get those brands in bulk or at least know of a good bulkwax brand?

banshee has a great price on wax, but to buy in bulk the best place is Hertel wax http://www.hertelskiwax.com/

does your shop only carry small packs, not any big blocks?

most any shop that sells high end nordic or alpine skis will have glide wax in bulk. Swix even sells their waxes by the box and would probably last you 5 years.

Swix sells great wax. The price is pretty resonable for a box of it and it will last a while...

Yeah the most I've found from them are 60g packs of Swix and then the cheaper Dakine wax in about 160g I think. Online I've found the 180g packs of some swix colors, but just curious if there were other options since I wax alot more frequently now and have two pairs of skis. Looked at Hertel but I'd rather have quality wax that'll last longer. Interested to know your opinion on Hertel and Dakine, Balto since I taught myself to wax using your video and a few others and you seemed like you know your stuff.

i got a bunch of huge bricks of toko universal wax. it's the best for anything except race skis, so if you don't care about specific temperature wax (which doesn't make a difference for park and pow) then go for it

i know tognar used to sell it in bulk but artech should have it as well
