To go along with the how often do you wax thread, I am curious about what kind of wax you use. At Gunstock today, they had a sign that said wax for today: Purple. I'm guessing that the various colors work well at various temperatures and conditions????

Personally, I use a white wax that is good for something like -5 degrees to +25 degrees. I ain't about to change my wax and rewax just because the temperature shifted a couple degrees. I know I sacrifice some features for the using such a broad range wax. But I'm okay with that. Seems I always have to scrub off speed on mountain. Very seldom is it so warm that my skiis drag. Never a problem as it gets colder.
