Skis specificallly meant for racing are often less flexible (ie: stiffer) than average recreational skis. In order for the ski to bend less, it requires a denser, heavier, and less flexible core.

Do world cup skiers use the same skis as you buy?
Not unless you are a ski racer yourself, and were lucky enough to get top of the line equipment. World Cup skiers get the best race skis that their factory makes. They have many different pairs of the same type (downhill skis, for example) that they will test to see which are the fastest. Race skis are highly specialized and differ greatly from demo skis or skis that the public usually buys. You can see this reflected in the price. Race skis typically run $800-$1000 for the skis, not including bindings.

Can you mix a regular wax and fluoro wax when waxing your skis?
Yes, but why would you? If a low fluoro wax is needed ... then use a low fuoro ... which is less expensive than mixing a non-fluoro one with a high fluoro one. I use the super expensive one's when racing, keep my race skis "prepped" with a high quality non-fluoro wax and only use the fluoro for a race. For my recreational skis they just have a quality non-fluoro wax on them.
Where is the best place to buy cheap skis and boots?
I go skiing on a pro level, so I have the newest and most expensive equipment, and I paid $800 for my last skis. But of course, you don't need so expensive skis if you're just a regular sunday-skier.
