The coldest wax in the Ultra line, for air temperatures of −10°F to 5°F. Cold snow is sharp and abrasive rather than wet, so a cold wax is hard — it resists being torn out of the base by crystals that behave more like sand than water.
- Premium hydrocarbon wax with glide additives
- Air temperature range: −10°F to 5°F
- 10oz bar — a season of regular waxing
The SVST Ultra range by air temperature:
- Violet — −10°F to 5°F (this wax)
- Blue — 10°F to 22°F
- Red — 23°F to 36°F
- Yellow — 36°F to 50°F
- Universal — 10°F to 35°F, covering blue and red
Legal for competition. This is a fluorocarbon-free hydrocarbon wax, so it complies with the US Ski & Snowboard prohibition on fluoro products in sanctioned events.
If you are between two colours, take the colder one. A wax that is too hard is slightly slow; one that is too soft picks up dirt and is considerably slower.
