Fostering an Active Outdoor Lifestyle in Our Community

The first Vasaloppet USA ski race was in 1973, inspired by the original Vasaloppet Sweden ski race in Mora Sweden. 50 years later, Vasaloppet USA has expanded beyond just a ski race each year, and now provides the infrastructure for the entire ski community in the state to embrace the sport all season long. The organization is blessed to have so many generous volunteers in the community of Mora who donate their time, skills, resources, and more to keep the Nordic Center and all of the associated activities going. 
 
The Vasaloppet USA mission is to promote a heathy and active outdoor lifestyle including economic and social benefits through cross-country skiing and related activities for youth, families, and serious competitors.
