The FIS Council confirms that fluoros are still banned this coming season, but testing will account for contaminated skis, brushes, and snow for the first season.
Solda began to reformulate their waxes with fluorocarbon compounds of C6 or less. These new formulas conformed to the 2020 European Union regulations.
It has been cold lately where I have been, so I have been testing cold waxes. The performance of Base Performance Liquid Paraffin has totally surprised me to the point where it is now my new favorite glide wax.
Picking the right wax is more complicated than simply looking at a wax chart. Snow and air temperature, free moisture, and snow crystal type all play a role.
Nordiq Canada has banned the use of medium and high fluoro waxes in all Tier 2 and some Tier 1 races
The International Ski Federation's (FIS) Committee for Competition Equipment has banned the use of fluorinated ski waxes or all FIS disciplines starting with the 2020/2021 season.
NENSA has banned the use of pure fluoro ski wax topcoats and is limiting use of paraffin-based fluoro glide waxes for the 2019-2020 season over concerns of health risks.
Toko High Performance Liquid Paraffins yield faster skis in most conditions and are quick and easy to apply.

Swix has ordered a recall of the wheels on the Swix S5 Pro and Triac Carbon Skate rollerskis after at least 10 elite rollerskiers had problems at the Toppidrettsveka 25km roller ski race in Norway.
Kästle is back on the Nordic scene with its own race division, three lines of cross-country skis and jump skis. Kästle has also signed a supplier agreement with the Austrian Ski Association.
TOKO is shipping a line of spray-on High Performance Liquid Paraffins that look to greatly reduce the time it takes to wax race skis, reducing the mess, and still give you fast skis.
