Over the decades, downhill skiing has contaminated the mountainsides with PFAS, glycerin, shellac, even whale oil, kerosene, and spermaceti. The forever chemicals even got into the aquifers.

This week's high octane ski races have a unique environmental backstory: They're the first Olympic races without fluoro waxes -- a source of speed, and of PFAS contamination https://bit.ly/4qeunSj
The Olympics are ditching PFAS waxes — and the ‘ridiculous’ speed they gave skiers
A key source of speed is gone, as concerns over toxic “forever chemicals” reshape Olympic skiing and the science behind winning on snow.
