I'm wondering if there's really a major recreational difference between a universal ski wax you'd use from say.... 5 degrees to 35 degrees temperature, versus the performance you'd get using a temperature specific wax in 3-13 degree, 14-24 degree , 25-35 degree ranges?
Of course I know for ski racing it's a massive difference given you're measured in hundredth's-of-seconds, but for the purpose of this question, I don't care about ski racing at all. I'm wondering if it makes an appreciable difference for the typical skiers here hitting their local ski hills.
The reason I decided to create this thread beyond the fact it's something I'm curious about, is that I was surprised how little information there is on this subject online, besides what's found in vendor's marketing materials. It doesn't seem like most skiers give it much thought.
