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.
