Given recent conversations within the Nordic Community, the Maine Ski Coaches Association has worked with the Maine Principal’s Association to develop a new protocol for glide waxing. Concerns about fluorinated waxes include: health implications of exposure, environmental effects of some HF wax products, and equity issues around which teams have access to these waxing resources. The MSCA reviewed recent NCAA Collegiate and NENSA rule changes during our deliberations. Maine Principals’ Association State Meet Rule: No glide wax above Low Fluoro and no top coats shall be used in the state meet by all Nordic competitors. Violations will be reported to the jury for consequence. A contract should be signed by all athletes, their parent/guardian, and coaches and be kept by each coach. There are no restrictions for kick wax.
