Dominator Elite OS 2 P 100g
Ski Wax for Old Snow and Uncompromising Race Performance
The Dominator Elite OS 2P ski wax is one of those products that is often underestimated in racing. Many skiers focus solely on temperature. Experienced service teams, however, know that the type of snow is at least as important.
As soon as snow is a few days old, its crystal structure changes significantly. The snow grains become rounder, denser, and react completely differently to wax than fresh powder snow. The Dominator Elite OS 2P Race Paste was developed precisely for these conditions.
As a high-quality fluorine-free race paste wax, the OS 2P delivers maximum speed on transformed natural and artificial snow at snow temperatures from -5°C to -15°C. In my experience in race service, it is one of the most versatile products in the entire Elite series and a true standard product for many race weekends.

Dominator Elite OS 2 Paste – race paste for transformed snow, old snow and the universal old-snow range
Most races are not held on completely fresh new snow, but on transformed snow, older artificial snow, compact race pistes and repeatedly skied courses. Dominator Elite OS 2 Paste was developed exactly for this: the central fluoro-free high-end Race Paste in the Old Snow series for the universal race range from -5°C to -15°C – ideal for racers, coaches and service teams seeking maximum performance without a waxing 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 race windows from warm to universal. 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 bis -15°C | Elite NS 1 -5°C to -15°C |
| Old snow | Elite OS 3 0°C bis -5°C | Elite OS 2 -5°C bis -15°C | Elite OS 2 -5°C to -15°C |
The challenge in typical race snow
When snow is no longer fresh, it needs a true old-snow tune
Many race courses are not made of fresh new snow, but of transformed snow, older artificial snow, machine-prepared pistes and repeatedly skied sections. The snow structure is more compact, harder and often harder to read than pure new-snow conditions.
Elite OS 2 Paste was developed exactly for this universal old-snow race range. It is the central paste of the OS series when conditions are neither warm and wet enough for OS 3 nor permanently extreme-cold enough for OS 2.
When is Elite OS 2 Paste the right choice?
- Transformed snow and classic old snow
- Older, cold artificial-snow layers and compact race pistes
- Temperature range from -5°C to -15°C
- Repeatedly skied or machine-prepared courses
- Fast application without a waxing iron
- Finish in the start area, on travel 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 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.
Central old-snow tuning
For transformed snow, older artificial-snow layers and compact race pistes in the most common old-snow race range.
Universal race range
Optimized for -5°C to -15°C – exactly the range where many European races take place on compact or transformed snow.
Race paste without iron
Ideal for quick adjustments right before the start, at 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 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.
Why racers choose Elite OS 2 Paste
The central old-snow paste for typical race conditions
OS 2 is the most universal old-snow paste in the Elite series. It fits especially when snow is already transformed, compacted or repeatedly skied, but conditions are not clearly in the universal OS 2 range.
- Developed for transformed snow, older artificial snow and compact race pistes
- Universal temperature range from -5°C to -15°C
- Fast application without a waxing iron
- Ideal as a finish over a tuned hot-wax build-up
- For racers, coaches, clubs and ambitious sport skiers

Race practice
Typical uses for Elite OS 2 Paste
Typical race snow
When the course is prepared, skied and no longer fresh – exactly the range where OS 2 is often the obvious choice.
Older cold artificial snow
For artificial-snow layers that have already been compacted, skied or changed by temperature cycles and sit in the cold range.
Compact cold race pistes
When snow is firm, grippy and transformed and a universal old-snow tune is needed.
Right before the start
Ideal as a paste finish when it becomes clear shortly before the run that the snow is more transformed than expected.

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, abrasion, race course and application situation. In universal transformed snow, the correct cold old-snow tune often determines the wax choice.
When transformed snow becomes universal and dry, a universal old-snow tune is often no longer enough. That is exactly why OS 2 is the central solution within the Elite OS series.
