Glide Waxes

Fast Gliders:
For when you just want your skis to go fast with no fuss. Fast gliders offer easy application and tested performance, so you can get out of the lodge and onto the snow in record time.

Non-Flourinated Gliders: The most basic hot-application wax, which is used by skiers at every level, non-flourinated waxes are the best way to protect and saturate your ski bases. These waxes are used heavily as base-layers for other waxes, and under low humidity conditions can even out-perform more expensive waxes! Non-Flourinated glide waxes come in a variety of formulations for different snow temperatures and consistencies.







Low-Flouro Gliders: Low-flouro waxes contain water-repellent flourocarbons, increasing performance in higher-humidity conditions. Low-flouro waxes perform best in 50%-70% humidity, and are an excellent performance base-layer for high-flouro or pure-flouro waxes or even on their own. Low-flouro glide waxes come in a variety of formulations for different snow temperatures and consistencies.







High-Flouro Gliders:
With a greater concentration of flourocarbons than low-flouro waxes, high-flouro waxes offer increased performance as the air or snow moisture content increase. High-flouro waxes are best suited for conditions of 65%-70% humidity, and are the best base-layer for pure-flouros. These waxes have been proven in race after race to increase ski performance! High-flouro glide waxes come in a variety of formulations for different snow temperatures and consistencies.






Pure-Flouros
: Pure flouro-carbons are the ultimate in glide wax performance, and in humid conditions they offer unrivaled speed and freedom. These waxes are the only way to go for racers who want to take their competition to the next level. Pure-flourocarbons come in powder, solid, or liquid form, and must be applied on top of other hot-waxes. One of these Ski*Go waxes has been described by experts as the best pure fluoro powder in the world! 





Cold Powders: If the snow is so cold and dry that your ski can't melt it as you glide, then you are left with dry friction resisting your ski. In these conditions, a cold powder top-coat is required. These top-coats resist the wear of dry friction and improve glide, providing you with the fastest and freest ski possible. Ski*Go makes the most versatile economical cold powders in the world!



Grip Waxes


Easy-Go Grip: Easy go grip wax is the easiest way to ski classical style. A no-touch, no-cork system, Easy-Go waxes are applied with an applicator and left to dry briefly before they are ready to go. No elbow-grease, corks, or complicated wax selection processes required!



Kick Wax: Ski-Go has a complete line of kick waxes for every type of snow condition. These waxes come as one of a variety of temperature ranges, as a wide-range universal wax for when conditions are changing rapidly, and in flourinated varieties for slushy, dirty, or falling snow. Ski*Go's Racing line of kick waxes is universally used by the best and most knowledgeable waxers in the US.







Klister: Not every klister is the same. When conditions are exceedingly wet or icy, hard grip waxes can't provide the kick required for a perfect day of skiing. In these conditions, Klister waxes provide the grip necessary to get you up those long climbs. Ski-Go offers Klister for every snow temperature and consistency for that perfect kick and glide.
