FAST WAX IS ABOUT YOU
AND YOUR NEED FOR SPEED!
Silently, gliding down a Nordic ski trail, carving through the glades in knee deep powder, or boosting off kickers in the terrain park. Fast Wax makes products so everyone can have a great time while enjoying their favorite winter activities. As a family run, small batch producer of wax, Fast Wax can ensure the highest quality, consistency, and speed in all of our products. You may not know or care about pot time and how it relates to key ingredient evaporation, but we do. ( By the way: Pot time is not riding the tram to the summit at 4:20 ) We take wax and the science behind it seriously and it matters to us. This dedication to our craft helps us make the best wax in the world, right here in Minnesota, USA. At the end of the day all we want to do is to help you go fast.

WAX DONE RIGHT
Every one of our waxes is optimized by math, double-checked by science, then triple-checked in real-world conditions to ensure the best glide performance. Using only top quality, US-sourced components and hand-poured in small batches. Fast Wax is engineered to be the best wax in the world. Behind the scenes, Fast Wax is a family affair. Mom oversees the blending and pouring wax. The three kids are responsible for packaging, and Dad is out telling the world about Fast Wax. We pride ourselves on a simple to understand wax selection system. This makes selecting the right wax for the conditions easy-peasy. This is done with broad effective temperature ranges on our wax, giving you wiggle room for when the conditions change.

HOW A GREAT SKI WAX WAS BORN
The development of Fast Wax began in late 1986 by cofounder Dan Meyer. With his background in polymer science, he began developing and testing the first iteration of Fast Wax. It did not take long for Dan to start winning races on skis running Fast Wax. Soon, word got out and the local high school team asked to race on Fast Wax. The results were immediate, they started getting on the podium at every event they used Fast Wax. The companies name actually came from one of those high school racers who wanted Dan’s “Fast Wax”. Word of mouth quickly led to other skiers in the area asking how they could buy Dan’s wax.

THE NEW WAX IN TOWN
The leap to retail sales began in 1994. When one of the top Nordic ski shops in the country tried Fast Wax and was so impressed they wanted to sell it. Their decision provided a strong endorsement to the grassroots community that had been supporting Fast Wax from the beginning. It did not take long before additional shops in the area became dealers. Understandably many skiers were afraid to try Fast Wax. They felt comfortable with their current mass-produced, imported brands even though they were inferior in many aspects. It seemed impossible that a local, start-up wax company could produce a wax that performed better than the huge mega brands from Europe. In 1997 the tide had turned, and Fast Wax had become the upper Midwest’s favorite hometown wax. Skiers from other parts of the country soon learned about Fast Wax and brought it home with them when they visited the area. By the early 2000s, Fast Wax was shipping wax and winning races worldwide.

GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS
24 years has flown by and now Fast Wax has matured into a complete glide wax system for Nordic, Snowboard, and Alpine skiers. Fast Wax maintains an uncompromising mission to produce top quality waxes at a reasonable price. Our company’s roots are deeply steeped in Nordic skiing tradition. With that being said, we are consistently finding skiers and snowboarders who will not stop raving about Fast Wax. For us, this means it’s time to branch out and expand so that everybody can go fast!

When there is a spill of solar energy, it is called a nice day! Fast Wax purchases wind and solar energy credits from Terrapass® to offset our carbon footprint. Our commitment to green energy is such that we are in the process of installing our own solar array in Minnesota’s solar corridor.

We take pride in producing more earth-friendly, superior ski waxes. We do not use, and will never use:

Aerosol release agents
Liquid mold release agents
Any type of wax flux
Mother Nature is our release agent! We pour our waxes on the coldest days of winter and put them outside, to cool to below freezing. Fast Wax is BORN outdoors in a winter snowblast. And it jumps right out of the mold.
