ski shop knew what they were doing.

Thanks.

The V100 ad V110 are kick (grip) waxes. One is for "dry" snow,
meaning low moisture typ below 0C and the other is for "wet" snow typ
above 0C. The pair are suppose to be simple touring two wax system
grip waxes having a broad range of temps.

LOL, thanks.. No wonder the max waxx seemed so much better.
