### 5/5 — Clearly made by a skier

*2026-02-07*

A wax AI that actually works! It covers every wax you’ve ever heard of and allows you to pinpoint specific snow conditions while still being very simple and easy to use. You can enter what waxes you own and it will make recommendations based on that, or it can suggest other waxes. Takes the guesswork out of kick waxing especially.

### 5/5 — Best one yet

*2025-01-10*

Most of the ski wax apps that are out there focus on just one brand. This one has 100s of waxes! It also lets you store your favorite waxes that it pulls recommendations from, which is really nice. I also love that it lets you put in a temperature range, not just a single temperature. The cheap upgrade to the Pro version was well worth it.
