What’s New for Vasaloppet 2025
We are excitedly looking forward to the upcoming Vasaloppet USA ski races here in Mora, February 8-9, 2025. Here are some of the highlights of what our wonderful Community of Mora is doing to welcome skiers this year.
FREE POSTERS – This year’s featured artist for the 2025 collectible poster is Ryan Kroschel, MD. He is not only a local physician at Welia, he is also an avid photographer. Free posters are available in the Vasaloppet store while supplies last.
FINISHERS HATS – We are happy to announce that the finishers medals are being replaced with knit winter hats, awarded by the Kranskulas to all finishers at the finish line for all races.
WARMING TENT – The celebration tent at the finish line will be smaller, serving as a warming tent, bib pick-up, and bag drop. Instead of a large tent, we have opted to hold events at other venues here in our wonderful community of Mora. The skier lunch and awards ceremonies on Saturday and Sunday will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church Community Center, a spacious, warm venue about two blocks from the finish line.
