Dominator Elite NS 2 100g
Ski Wax for Fresh New Snow and Maximum Race Performance – Dominator Elite NS 2 Race Hot Wax
Fresh new snow is one of the most challenging conditions in alpine racing. The snow crystals are sharp-edged, aggressive, and generate significantly more friction than transformed or older snow. The Dominator Elite NS 2 Ski Wax was developed precisely for these conditions.
This high-quality fluorine-free race hot wax was specifically designed for fresh natural snow and new artificial snow in the temperature range of -5°C to -15°C. On freshly produced artificial snow, it can even be used up to a snow temperature of approximately 0°C. This makes the NS 2 one of the most versatile new snow race waxes in the entire Dominator Elite range.

Dominator Elite NS 2 – iron-in Race Wax for new snow and the universal race range
When fresh new snow, new artificial snow layers and cold race conditions come together, you need a durable race wax build with a broad performance window. Dominator Elite NS 2 is the central fluorine-free high-end iron-in Racing Ski Wax in the Elite New Snow line – developed for fresh natural and artificial snow and temperatures from -5°C to -15°C. Ideal for racers, coaches and service teams looking for maximum performance through classic hot-wax preparation.
Elite Race Selector
Which Elite version matches your snow?
The Elite series combines snow type and temperature. NS stands for New Snow, OS for Old Snow. The numbers 3, 2 and 1 describe the race windows from warm to very cold. The overlaps are intentional because moisture, crystal structure and course character strongly influence wax choice in ski racing.
| Snow type | Warm | Universal | Cold |
|---|---|---|---|
| New snow | Elite NS 3 0°C to -5°C | Elite NS 2 -5°C to -15°C | Elite NS 1 -12°C and colder |
| Old snow | Elite OS 3 0°C to -5°C | Elite OS 2 -5°C to -15°C | Elite OS 1 -12°C and colder |
The problem in the universal New Snow range
When new snow becomes cold, dry or changeable, you need a stable race build
Many race conditions sit exactly in the middle temperature window of the Elite series. Fresh natural or artificial snow can react very differently from -5°C to -15°C: sometimes grippy, sometimes dry, sometimes changing quickly through sun, wind or grooming.
Elite NS 2 was developed for precisely this central race range. As an iron-in Race Wax, it creates a durable hot-wax build for training, competition and race service – ideal when performance must stay stable over multiple runs.
When is Elite NS 2 the right choice?
- Fresh natural or artificial snow
- Temperatures from -5°C to -15°C
- Universal Elite race range for New Snow
- When the wax build should be more durable than a paste
- Training, racing, competition and race service
- As a base for Elite RR or matching Elite pastes as a finish
Elite Race Series
Race wax by snow type, temperature and course character
The Elite Race Series was developed for racers who do not choose wax by temperature alone. Snow type, moisture, crystal structure and course character have a major effect on the optimum race setup. That is why the Elite line combines clear temperature windows with the distinction between New Snow and Old Snow.
New Snow tuning
For fresh, lightly transformed natural or artificial snow in the central Elite race range.
Universal race range
Optimized for -5°C to -15°C and therefore for many classic training and race conditions.
Durable hot-wax build
Applied with an iron – ideal for race service, multiple runs and a reliable base for finish products.
Which Dominator series fits?
FFC, Elite or Psycho?
FFC
Strong performance for training and racing with a broad range and excellent everyday usability.
Elite
Maximum race performance for athletes, coaches and service teams who combine snow type and temperature precisely.

Expert recommendation
Recommended with race expertise from Dr. Thanos Karydas
The Elite series is not only about temperature. It is about the combination of snow type, moisture, race course and application situation. This differentiation is exactly what makes the difference in ski racing.
“Many races sit exactly in the middle temperature window. Elite NS 2 is therefore one of the central products in the New Snow series when fresh snow demands a durable and precise race build.”
