I have a little experience waxing my cross country skis, using that
as a guide line I would suggest bees wax.
        We use a harder wax as the temp drops and softer as the snow gets
wetter. So as bees wax is harder, then that would be my choice. You
could make it even harder by melting a little propolise with it.
        Rub the runners with bees wax, and then buff with a soft cloth
before use.
