The Next Millennium Wax Book - This interactive Wax Book is a compilation or summary of information on waxing that has appeared in the Ski Research News over the past five or six years. It is not a substitute for a review of the articles and data but is intended as a field guide. The charts are based upon air temperature and relative humidity to make them easier for all to use. Snow temperature, snow size and age, and moisture content are dominant factors in wax and structure.

Swix Nordic Products - In the mid-thirties production of ski-wax was an obscure industry with racers running the business in cellars and backyards. Raw-materials were even more obscure, giving rise to strange blends, often having a strong smell. Early in 1943 Martin Matsbo and a small group of chemists got together drawing up the general guidelines to create a new skiwax. They understood that a certain number of waxes were necessary to give an acceptable coverage of all possible snow-conditions, and they came up with a line of three hard waxes and two klisters.
