To protect the health of our environment and skiers, no waxes using fluorocarbon can be used in Kongsberger Races. This is currently an honor system.
This includes waxes that are Low Fluoro, High Fluoro, or pure fluoro (powders, blocks and liquids) This also includes fluorinated kick waxes and klisters. Swix VR waxes and klisters contain fluorocarbons. Many waxes today are labeled if they contain fluorocarbons.
Please abide by this policy for competitive fairness as well as our health and our environment.

All ski trails are still open to non-racing skiers. Non-racing skiers are invited to watch races at the start/lap/finish area or along the trails. However, they should consider skiing at another location on race mornings (eg Hyak, Crystal Springs or Lake Easton) as Cabin Creek parking and trail use will be intensive from 8:00 to 12:00 noon. As always, dogs are not permitted on groomed trails at Cabin Creek.
