You would think -25 to 10F wax would work pretty well at -2F but the last two cold blasts we've had here I diligently waxed the skis with CH4 and had a great deal of difficulty getting anywhere at the summit with slightly better results at base elevation which is maybe 6 degrees warmer. Perhaps the biggest difference is the wind driven surface we have up top. The wind was fierce overnight and our 12" of powder has turned to chalk. Surprisingly dense weird stuff to navigate.
So is there a waxing solution for these conditions? It didn't just bother me on the flats, it seemed like my skis were stuck in every turn.
