HWK wax temperature table
HWK (Austria, Wattens in Tyrol) is the racing specialist brand in the range: HX Racewax as the hard-wax base, plus the UHX powders and blocks as well as Liquos for the finish stage. Many figures come directly from the manufacturer (skiwax.tirol).
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 HWK 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”.
