Rode Skiwax: A Cornerstone in Skiing Since 1956

Italian Rode has been producing ski wax commercially since 1956, and since then, their products have been an integral part of many world-renowned achievements in skiing. From Franko Nones' gold medal in the 30 km race at the Grenoble Olympics in 1968 to today’s championship triumphs, Rode has been there, contributing to success on the slopes.

The legendary Norwegian skier and radio commentator Håkon Brusveen was an early advocate for Rode Skiwax in Norway, a move that quickly established Rode as a key brand in Norwegian skiing. Today, it is nearly impossible to find a ski race, national or international, where Rode products are not used under the skis of participants.

Rode initially focused on grip wax but has also earned great recognition for its glide wax products over the years. With recipes that are over 50 years old and still considered among the best, this speaks to the thoroughness, passion, and expertise that the family behind Rode has invested in their work.

In recent years, Rode has taken significant steps toward sustainability. They aim to produce products with minimal environmental impact while maintaining top performance. This commitment to sustainability has led both the Norwegian Ski Federation and the Norwegian Biathlon Association to partner with Rode—a choice that underscores the trust and confidence in their products.

Rode products are widely available in stores across the country, especially in those specializing in Nordic ski equipment. This makes it easy for skiers of all levels to access top-quality ski wax for optimal performance on the trails.

With a rich history and a strong position in the skiing world, Rode continues to be a preferred partner for skiers seeking that extra edge under their skis.
