Fluoro Ban Update
FIS: Fluorinated Wax Ban Implementation Delayed to 2021-22 Season
The FIS Council, in accordance with the recommendation of its Fluorinated Wax Ban Working Group, has approved postponing the implementation of the ban of fluorinated waxes until the start of the 2021-22 season, beginning on July 1, 2021. That means there is no fluoro ban for FIS sanctioned races this winter. For more information, visit -
