Fluoro Update
The Fluoro-free wax lists for grip and glide wax will no longer be offered as a resource or updated. It is recommended that athletes, coaches, teams, parents etc work directly off of the various wax brand websites to confirm which waxes are fluoro free and which contain fluoro. Many wax brands now have fluoro-free sections on their website. Air on the side of caution if unsure if the wax contains fluorinated wax. As a reminder fluorinated waxes are now a prohibited substance at all FIS and Nordiq Canada sanctioned events for the 2020-21 season.
