I do not think we disagree about waxing at pro-level. My concerns is strictly related to cost of participation at the junior levels, and the treshold for young skiers who do not have parents with waxing experience.
I think we can all agree something is wrong when 12 year olds are using Cera style powder and HF glider on their skis for a regional competition. easily 100-150$ per race. But if one person does, then you have to do it to be in contention.

Yes but now all flouros are banned in high school and college racing at least here in the US. My daughters raced here in New Hampshire which has a highly competitive high school racing scene and while some kids were really over the top with wax I would say it was a fairly level field. Most kids had a couple of pair for of skate and classic skiis and made due.
