How the wax recommendation works
raceday.ski calculates the wax recommendation for Schlick 2000 from current Open-Meteo weather data. The algorithm considers:
- Snow temperature — calculated from air temperature, altitude (1,620 m), cloud cover and solar radiation
- 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)
The result is a complete wax system with base wax, race wax, optional finish, structure recommendation and brushing protocol — calculated individually for the current conditions in Schlick 2000.
