Dominator Elite OS 2 100g
Maximum Race Performance with the Right Ski Wax for Medium Temperatures
If you're looking for a high-performance ski wax for race training, competition, or ambitious skiing, you should take a closer look at the Dominator Elite OS2. This fluorine-free, high-performance wax was specially developed for older, transformed snow as well as aggressive artificial snow and, in my opinion, is one of the most versatile race waxes in the medium temperature range.
While simple universal waxes often only represent a compromise, the Elite OS2 delivers exactly the properties that are crucial on the race track: high speed, consistent glide values, and impressive water and dirt repellency. Especially in changing conditions between cold mornings and warmer race runs, this wax plays to its strengths.
That makes the difference between a ski that runs – and a ski that wins races.

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 moisture, crystal structure, abrasion and course character strongly influence wax choice in racing.
| Snow type | Warm | Universal | Cold |
|---|---|---|---|
| New snow | Elite NS 3 0°C bis -5°C | Elite NS 2 -5°C to -15°C | Elite NS 1 -12°C and colder |
| Old snow | Elite OS 3 0°C bis -5°C | Elite OS 2 -5°C to -15°C | Elite OS 1 -12°C and colder |
The challenge with old snow in race service
When race snow is no longer fresh, it needs a durable old-snow build-up
Most races are not held on fresh new snow. Instead, racers meet transformed snow, older artificial-snow layers, compact race courses and repeatedly skied pistes.
Dominator Elite OS 2 Block was developed exactly for this central old-snow race range. As a hot wax, it forms the durable base for training, competition and professional race-service workflows.
When is Dominator Elite OS 2 Block the right choice?
- Transformed snow and classic old snow
- Older artificial-snow layers and compact race pistes
- Universal temperature range from -5°C to -15°C
- Durable hot-wax build-up with waxing iron
- Ideal base for Elite OS 2 Paste or Elite RR
- For race service, training and competition
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, abrasion and course character strongly influence the ideal race tune. That is why the Elite series combines clear temperature windows with the distinction between New Snow and Old Snow.
Old-snow tuning
For transformed snow, older artificial-snow layers and compact race pistes in the most common old-snow race range.
Durable hot-wax build-up
The block is applied with a waxing iron and works as a robust race base for training, competition and multi-step service build-ups.
Base for finish products
Depending on race day, the hot-wax build-up can be complemented with the matching Elite Paste, Elite RR or a specialized Dominator solution.
Which Dominator series fits?
FFC, Elite or Psycho?
FFC
Strong performance for training and racing with broad usability and excellent everyday practicality.
Elite
Maximum race performance for racers, 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.

Expert recommendation
Recommended with race know-how from Dr. Thanos Karydas
In typical race snow, temperature is not the only factor. It also matters how strongly snow has already been transformed, compacted or loaded. OS 2 is the central old-snow base for these conditions.
If I had to choose only one old-snow hot wax for many European race conditions, OS 2 would usually be my first choice. Most race courses consist of transformed snow, older artificial snow or already loaded race pistes.
