Skiers must use the wax that is best suited for the temperature on the day they wish to ski. Each different color of wax represents a different temperature range. Use the color that matches your temperature range. Read the packaging to see which colors represent which temperature ranges.

skis are waxed to reduce the friction with the snow and therefore if there is less friction then the skis will go faster.

The color code is used to simplify the choice of ski wax and represents the temperature at which the wax is most effective.
