Smooth riding
I applied this two nights before we headed out to Mt. Baker. It rained on the bottom slopes, but had fresh POW at the top I was still not picking up any snow. Slush wasn't slowing down or the near down pour we experienced almost the whole day. Perfect for the bipolar winter weather WA's snow can have!

“All Conditions” not so much
My local REI had this wax and no other temperature flavors, so I picked it up since it had NO TEMPERATURES listed on the box, and said, “All Conditions” on the label. Skied it on a 5 degree day and it was like glue on my skis! Did some research when I got home and found out it’s for 25F to 39F! I have been waxing skis with temperature specific waxes for 30 years, and used other generic all temp waxes...shame on you North/SWIX for omitting temps here and ruining my day.

Won in the pink

It’s your standard pink all weather wax. Aren’t they all the same? But I proclaim this one a winner due to the value!

Great wax easy on, big ski difference

Just learned to finish skis. Easy use, consistent flow, handle great in cold (10F) and 50F snow conditions. Will continue using!

If You Wax Your Own Skis….

Not what it says it is

Bought this from REI in their Utah store and couldn’t be more unsatisfied with this product as it definitely is not an all conditions wax. It is purely a warm temp wax which it should say on the box. Waste of money here go with a wax that truly is all conditions if that’s what you’re looking for. Maybe a good reason to visit your local ski shop and not REI.

All temps in the warmer end of the range.

I am using this for hot waxing tips and tails for my fishscale waxless skis. Perfect for that use in the Central Oregon conditions. Not so much jerking around when I transition from shade to sun.
