Wax is temperature/ humidity specific, so you need a different wax for warm spring slush than you would for a cold powder day with temperatures below freezing.

A few factors when considering what wax to choose:

• snow temperature
  
• air temperature
  
• air humidity
• wind exposure
• sun exposure

Note: If you live in a dry climate, like Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana or Idaho, you can always add graphite wax to avoid static friction in dry snow.
