As a cross country skier, it can be frustrating and confusing to prepare your skis for snow conditions: temperature, humidity, forecast, snowfall and more all factor into what kind of ski wax you'll need to put on the base of your skis. So what's a skier to do? All the commonly-used wax companies (Swix, Toko, Briko Maplus, StartWax, ZumWax) have their own charts and calculators, but the most accurate estimates for local conditions can be variable and relies on local ski shop information, historical race wax data & conditions, and experience waxing for the conditions over time.
Say hello to Waxxer! While talking with my partner/ski buddy this winter, I had the idea to create a wax-where-you-are application to give the best, most accurate weather conditions for XC ski races using a weather (current conditions & forecasting) API.
- Clone this project:
