How the wax recommendation works

- Snow type — determined automatically from precipitation data of the last 48 hours (fresh snow, old snow, machine-made, wet snow, slush or wind-packed)
- Moisture — according to the ICSSG classification (dry, moist, wet, very wet, soaked)
- 127 wax products — from 5 leading manufacturers: Swix (Norway), Toko (Switzerland), Holmenkol (Germany), HWK (Austria) and Rex (Finland)
