Holmenkol wax temperature table
Holmenkol (Germany) structures its racing range into the Alpha/Beta/Ultra mix series (hard wax) and the fluor-free Syntec race series (FF bars, FF1 powders, FF1/FF2 liquids). As is customary in the industry, the colours Yellow/Red/Blue stand for warm/medium/cold.
All temperature ranges refer to the snow temperature — not the air temperature. The figures have been verified against the published manufacturer data (as of July 2026).
Instead of reading tables: Calculate the current Holmenkol recommendation for your ski resort — from the calculated snow temperature, not the air temperature.
Data as of July 2026. All figures were checked against the official manufacturer specifications for the 2025/26 season. Manufacturers sometimes publish regionally different values (e.g. EU vs. US sites). Please report any discrepancies via “Report an error”.
