I wonder if the Toko and Swix wax techs ever engage in combat behind the scenes.

Estimate the temperature range you may ski in and and choose a wax that has a range in the middle of the high and low temps. In xc skiing having only one wax is a big compromise. All skis can be rewaxed for the day's temperature. 3 glide waxes is basic for fitness skiers.

all temperature wax.

There are medium temperature wax as well.

There are general purpose waxes out there, but otherwise, I think you have to just apply the right wax for the day's conditions.

Thats interesting. But, if you only have one pair of skis, which wax should you use to accomodate all snow conditions?
