<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR GEAR<\/h3><\/div>Enhancements give your equipment a temporary performance edge. Apply them in the Service Room before a race to boost one of four key attributes. Each enhancement uses energy \u2014 one container per race \u2014 so choose wisely.<\/p>\n
Enhancement slots unlock gradually as you level up, so you’ll gain access to more simultaneous boosts the further you progress.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
SO FUNKTIONIERT ES<\/h3><\/div>Before each race, you can see the track’s conditions \u2014 temperature, snow type, and surface. Pick the enhancement variant that matches those conditions for the strongest boost. Use a universal variant if you’re unsure, or go specialist when you want every edge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
1. SPEED ENHANCEMENTS (WAX)<\/h3><\/div>Wax boosts your top speed, but effectiveness depends on track temperature.<\/p>\n
\n- UNIWAX<\/span>: Works under all conditions but has a weaker effect.<\/li>\n
- PROWAX BLUE: <\/span>Strong speed boost in very cold conditions, minimal effect otherwise.<\/li>\n
- PROWAX RED: <\/span>Strong speed boost in warm conditions, minimal effect otherwise.<\/li>\n
- PROWAX WHITE: <\/span>Strong speed boost in cold conditions, minimal effect otherwise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Tip: Check the track conditions before selecting your wax \u2014 the right match makes a real difference on straights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n- BASEGRIP<\/strong>: <\/span>Works under all conditions but has a weaker effect.<\/li>\n
- PROGRIP ICE<\/strong>: <\/span>Strong grip boost on icy tracks, minimal effect otherwise.<\/li>\n
- PROGRIP SNOW<\/strong>: <\/span>Strong grip boost on fresh snow, minimal effect otherwise.<\/li>\n
- PROGRIP MEDIUM<\/strong>: <\/span>Strong grip boost in regular conditions, minimal effect otherwise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Tip: Ice conditions reduce your grip by 20% \u2014 a well-matched Progrip can recover that penalty.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.ski-challenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Webicon-EDGE1.png\" "\\"Webicon-EDGE1\\"")

Tip: On technical Giant Slalom (GS) courses with tight gates, carve enhancements can matter more than raw speed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Just like your equipment, enhancements can be upleveled to improve their performance. Higher-tier enhancements deliver stronger boosts but take longer to recharge \u2014 so upgrading is about finding the right balance between power and availability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
HOW TO GET ENHANCEMENTS<\/h3><\/div>You’ll earn enhancements through Career rewards, loot boxes, and the Shop. Keep an eye on Events too \u2014 they’re a great source for stocking up on higher-tier variants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
