Wax Restrictions and Recommendations

Per PNSA rules all skiers agree to use a non-fluorinated glide wax which will be announced by the race organizer.

​

The glide wax for the 2026 Mt. Spokane Nordic Cup (U16 and older NRL races) will be posted HERE by 12pm on Wednesday, February 11th, 2026.

 

All categories are also required to use non-fluorinated products and we expect all racers to stick to basic level products such as the Swix HS or PS (formerly CH) line or equivalent.

No fluorinated products are allowed in grip wax products (hard wax, klister, covers, etc.).
