Dominator Elite NS 2 P 100g
Ski Wax for Fresh Powder and High-Performance Racing – Dominator Elite NS 2P Race Paste
The Dominator Elite NS 2P ski wax was developed for precisely the snow conditions that are often the most difficult to predict in racing: fresh natural snow, new artificial snow, and fluctuating temperatures in the mid-winter range.
Many waxes perform excellently on old snow or in spring. However, fresh snow behaves completely differently. The snow crystals are more aggressive, sharper, and create significantly more friction. This is precisely why the Elite NS 2P Race Paste was specifically developed for fresh snow conditions.

Dominator Elite NS 2 Paste – Race Paste for New Snow and the Universal Racing Range
When fresh new snow, new artificial-snow layers and cold racing conditions come together, you need a wax with a broad operating window. Dominator Elite NS 2 Paste is the central fluorine-free High-End Race Paste in the Elite New Snow Series – developed for fresh natural and artificial snow as well as temperatures from -5°C to -15°C. Ideal for racers, coaches and service teams looking for maximum performance without an iron.
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 racing windows from warm to very cold. The overlaps are intentional because moisture, crystal structure and course character strongly influence wax selection in racing.
| Snow type | Warm | Universal | Cold |
|---|---|---|---|
| New snow | Elite NS 3 0°C bis -5°C | Elite NS 2 -5°C bis -15°C | Elite NS 1 -12°C and colder |
| Old snow | Elite OS 3 0°C bis -5°C | Elite OS 2 -5°C bis -15°C | Elite OS 1 -12°C and colder |
The problem with fresh new snow in racing conditions
When new snow becomes cold and demanding, you need more than a standard wax
Fresh new snow and new artificial-snow layers can be especially demanding in racing. The crystal structure is often only slightly transformed, the snow may feel dry or aggressive, and the ski quickly loses free glide if the tuning is not precise enough.
Elite NS 2 Paste was developed for exactly this central race window. It is not a recreational paste but a performance-oriented race wax for athletes who need fast, precise race tuning without an iron in fresh snow and temperatures from -5°C to -15°C.
When is Elite NS 2 Paste the right choice?
- Fresh natural or artificial snow
- Temperatures from -5°C to -15°C
- New snow layers and only slightly transformed snow
- When NS 3 is too warm and NS 1 is too cold
- Fast application without an iron
- Finish in the start area, while travelling or in race service
Elite Race Series
Race wax according to snow type, temperature and course character
The Elite Race Series was developed for racers who do not make wax decisions based on temperature alone. Snow type, moisture, crystal structure and course character significantly influence optimal race tuning. That is why the Elite Series combines clear temperature windows with the distinction between New Snow and Old Snow.
New Snow tuning
For fresh, only slightly transformed snow where moisture and crystal structure can strongly affect glide performance.
Universal racing range
Optimized for the central Elite range from -5°C to -15°C, especially on fresh natural and artificial snow.
Central race paste without an iron
Ideal for quick adjustments directly before the start, during training camps or as a finish over a suitable hot-wax build-up.
Dominator Series
Which Dominator series fits?
FFC
Strong performance for training and racing with a broad operating range and very good everyday usability.
Elite
Maximum race performance for athletes, coaches and service teams that combine snow type and temperature precisely.
Psycho
Special solution when snow aggressiveness, abrasion or hard-to-read snow structures matter more than temperature.
Why racers choose Elite NS 2 Paste
Performance in the most important New Snow racing window
Many races take place exactly between -5°C and -15°C. In this window, the combination of temperature, snow type and crystal structure determines the wax choice. Elite NS 2 Paste is the central New Snow paste in the Elite Series for these demanding racing conditions.
- Developed for fresh natural and artificial snow from -5°C to -15°C
- Central Elite paste for many typical race conditions
- Fast application without an iron
- Ideal as a finish over a tuned hot-wax build-up
- For racers, coaches, clubs and ambitious performance skiers

Practical racing use
Typical applications for Elite NS 2 Paste

When fresh snow and temperatures between -5°C and -15°C require precise New Snow tuning.
Fresh new snow
For only slightly transformed snow structures where crystal shape and temperature together determine performance.
New artificial-snow layers
When new technical snow layers are raced in the mid-temperature range and fast race adjustments are needed.
Directly before the start
Ideal as a paste finish when conditions turn colder, drier or fresher than expected shortly before the run.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Dominator Elite NS 2 Paste
Who is Dominator Elite NS 2 Paste for?
For racers, coaches, service teams, clubs and ambitious skiers who need a fast Elite race paste without an iron for fresh new snow, new artificial-snow layers or typical racing conditions between -5°C and -15°C.
What temperatures was Elite NS 2 developed for?
For the central Elite racing range from -5°C to -15°C.
What does NS mean in Elite NS 2?
NS stands for New Snow. The paste is designed for fresh or only slightly transformed natural and artificial snow.
Why is Elite NS 2 the central New Snow paste?
Because it covers the broad race window between NS 3 and NS 1 and therefore works for many typical winter and racing conditions.
When is Elite NS 2 better than Elite NS 3?
Elite NS 2 is the better choice when conditions become colder, the snow feels drier or NS 3 is tuned too warm.
When is Elite NS 1 the better choice?
Elite NS 1 makes sense when new snow is very cold and temperatures are around -12°C or colder.
What is the difference between Elite NS 2 Paste and Elite NS 2 Block?
The paste is applied without an iron and is made for quick adjustments or finish applications. The block is intended for a classic hot-wax build-up with an iron.
Can I use Elite NS 2 Paste directly in the start area?
Yes. The paste is very practical for the start area, travel and mobile service teams: apply a thin layer, let it work, polish and brush out.
Can the paste be used as a finish over hot wax?
Yes. For maximum race performance, Elite NS 2 Paste can be used as a finish over a suitable hot-wax build-up.
When is Elite RR useful?
Elite RR is a universal race finish for -3°C to -15°C and can be an additional option for race service and final tuning.
When does Psycho make more sense than Elite?
Psycho makes sense when very aggressive snow structures, high abrasion or hard-to-read conditions become more important than the normal temperature window.
Is Elite NS 2 Paste fluorine-free ski wax?
Yes. Elite NS 2 Paste is a fluorine-free Elite race paste.
How long should the paste work in?
At least 20 to 30 minutes. Afterwards, the paste should be polished cleanly and brushed out thoroughly.
Is Elite NS 2 suitable for artificial snow?
Yes, especially for new artificial-snow layers from -5°C to -15°C. On very aggressive artificial snow, Psycho or FFC P2C can be important alternatives.
What separates Elite from FFC?
FFC is strong for training and racing with a broad operating range. Elite is more tightly focused on maximum race performance and a more precise combination of snow type and temperature.
What is Elite X?
Elite X is a special solution for hard-to-read racing conditions when classic NS or OS selections are not clearly the optimal choice.
Expert recommendation
Recommended with racing 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 racing.
“In racing, knowing only the temperature is not enough. Fresh new snow behaves differently from transformed snow. That is exactly why the Elite NS Series was developed.”
