I don't think there has been any discussion of this yet. FIS has banned flour wax starting next season. Personally, I welcome it, I just hope that it can be done fairly and doesn't make prices go up.
Athletes don't, but teams or companies do. There's not a single piece of wax in WC that is given for free, regardless if it's Swix, Toko, Holmenkol, Maplus or any other company. Contrary to skis, boots and bindings, that are handed out for free by companies (well... nothing is free on the end but still), waxes and poles (if not by ski manufacturer like Rossi is supplying them, and I don't think there's any other ski company but Rossi with ski poles in WC) are always paid.WC athletes don’t pay for their wax
Nah, don't get rid of them, just helpfully offer them to your competitors at the start.One article that I read said that there will be a litmus type test. I wonder how sensitive it would be. Would it detect skis that had been used with fluoro wax years before? Would you have to get rid of your brushes that might transfer traces of old wax to your skis?

Beer league geeks will still be using cheater wax on their cheater GS skis. If anything, that demographic has very high disposable income and will push the prices up higher and higher as the supplies dwindle. Keep it, wait awhile, then post on auction sites.It’ll be interesting what effect this has at lower levels of racing. WC athletes don’t pay for their wax, but if it gets banned at lower levels that soon it turns a lot of wax boxes into expensive paperweights.

Sounds like an investment opportunity. Go buy some of the 900g bulk sets of LF and HF everything and sell it off in a few years.
When ya ain't got talent, ya try everything else....................................yes, I'm a major offender....................Yeah because the main thing that determines who wins a beer league race is the wax on the skis
