Ski Wax for Wet Fresh Snow and Spring Snow – Dominator Elite NS 3P Race Paste
When temperatures rise, the snow gets wet, and many skis suddenly feel heavy and sluggish, it's time for Dominator Elite NS 3P Ski Wax. This high-end race paste was developed precisely for these conditions.
The Dominator Elite NS 3P is not a classic recreational wax, but a performance-oriented competition product for riders seeking maximum glide performance even in wet fresh snow, transformed snow, and spring snow.

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 race windows from warm to very cold. The overlaps are intentional because humidity, crystal structure and course character strongly influence wax choice in 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 with wet new snow
When water slows the ski, a universal wax is not enough
Warm race conditions are among the most difficult situations in skiing. Wet new snow, wet artificial snow and spring snow can create a strong suction effect. The ski feels heavy, accelerates poorly and loses time especially on flat gliding sections.
Elite NS 3 Paste was developed for exactly this situation. It is not a leisure paste, but a performance-oriented Race Wax for athletes who need fast, precise race tuning without an iron in warm and wet conditions.
When is Elite NS 3 Paste the right choice?
- Wet or damp new snow
- Spring snow and warm race conditions
- Wet artificial snow and high humidity
- When the ski feels heavy on gliding sections
- Fast application without an iron
- Finish in the start area, while travelling or in race service
Elite Race Series
Race wax by snow type, temperature and course character
The Elite Race Series was developed for racers who do not choose their wax only by temperature. Snow type, moisture, crystal structure and course character significantly influence the optimal race setup. 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.
Warm race conditions
Optimized for the warm Elite range from 0°C to -5°C, especially in wet new snow and spring snow.
Race paste without an iron
Ideal for fast adjustments directly before the start, during training camps or as a finish over a suitable hot-wax build-up.
Which Dominator series fits?
FFC, Elite or Psycho?
FFC
Strong performance for training and racing with a broad range of use and excellent everyday practicality.
Elite
Maximum race performance for athletes, coaches and service teams who precisely combine snow type and temperature.
Psycho
Specialist solution when snow aggressiveness, abrasion or hard-to-read snow structures matter more than temperature.
Why racers choose Elite NS 3 Paste
More speed when wet snow costs time
In warm races, the decisive factor is often not the steepest section but speed through gliding sections, transitions and flat finish areas. This is exactly where Elite NS 3 Paste is intended to help the ski run freer and reduce the braking suction effect of wet snow conditions.
- Developed for wet new snow, spring snow and wet artificial snow
- Practical for the start area, race travel and mobile service teams
- Fast application without an iron
- Ideal as a finish over a tuned hot-wax build-up
- For racers, coaches, clubs and ambitious sport skiers

Expert recommendation
Recommended with race know-how from Dr. Thanos Karydas
The Elite series is not only about temperature, but about the combination of snow type, moisture, race course and application situation. This exact differentiation makes the difference in racing.
“In racing, it is not enough to know only the temperature. Wet new snow behaves differently from transformed snow. That is exactly why the Elite NS series was developed.”
