To register for the races (external) VASALOPPET

Hope everyone is training hard. The winter season is only a few weeks away. This trip is sponsored by Ericsson who pays for the busses and we are very grateful for this company support.

So challenge yourself and join us. These trips are popular and a great experience. 

Registration for the Ericsson Vasaloppet & Öppet Spår Trips

Welcome!

Dominic McAleenan 

Now you can book the Orsa trip for December. Note: The Tynell coaching gives two choices, CLASSIC and SKATE/Freestyle, make sure you choose the right style. Use the link below. 

 Orsa December 2025

Let's hope Dalarna gets some snow and cold weather so they can role out the 25000 cubic meters of saved snow. 

See you in Orsa!

Note: The 15 kr Swish charge is not optional. This is what it costs to handle Swish, so please don't leave that out.

Pleased to announce already now that we will have Ericsson busses to both Vasaloppet and Öppet Spår 2026. Note that that there is a 20% saving on registration until March 27th, and after that it will be the normal race costs. 

More information can be found at Registering for Vasaloppet

So that we can give everyone who is registering for the race already now the opportunity to be part of the Ericsson trips, we will open the registration already now. First it is just to indicate that you want to queue for the accommodation and the bus. 

Note that the race cost and registration is something you do as a private person, but you can use Benify to cover some of the cost as normal. 

Prices will be roughly as they have been in recent years. Ericsson personnel have preference, but we welcome friends and family if we have space. We have 40 seats on both races.

Register for Grönklitt January 2025!!!

UPDATE!  Sorry for the spamming, but we have 5 cancellations with people who will lose their payment and if you are interested in joining us on Thursday please reach out. Orsa has had masses of snow in recent days and we can expect the whole system to be open this weekend. If you know someone that is interested,  please share the above link to register.

Currently we are 39 participants and 48 places in total i.e. one empty Cabin for a group of 6 people.  There are 48 km of well prepared ski-tracks as of today, January 7th.

The weather forecast looks very -3 to -8 C and no snowfall, but with at least 30 cm of new snow on top of the 30 that is already lying. 

----------------------------

There are currently around 40 people registered for the January trip. This is the same weekend as the Craft ski marathon. We have 60 beds booked so we still have capacity. 

This is usually a really nice trip with lots of snow and 13 km of trails. Well worth the effort. Remember you can share the link with friends as well. They pay 300 SEK more, but it is still a great deal.

The cabins in January are larger and most of them have their own sauna.

Share with anyone you know is interested.

Dominic and Jan

Dear ESIK members

Apologies if this is spam, but we have 2 places left (today Jan 29th) and the trip is tomorrow. So if you want to ski alpine or cross country, or even compete, you are more than welcome to join us. Some people have had to cancel and want to offer those places to someone who either missed this. 

Here is the link to register: EIF - Ericsson winter games 2025

We will help you and if you have any questions contact Erik Sanders or Dominic McAleenan and they can assit you.

The arrangers

Please save this date and we will come back with more details about the prices and all the arrangements. It has taken quite some discussion to come to this decision, but we are delighted to be able to do this with the Support of the Ericsson Sports Federation (Ericsson Idrottsförbund) in challenging times. 

The venue will again be Idre Sweden. The dates are Thursday January 30th to Sunday February 2nd 2025. 

As soon as the payment method and booking form is completed this will be shared with all of you. Membership in one of the EIF sports clubs will be a prerequisite. Another good reason to join our clubs. 

Please save the date! Welcome to Idre in 2025!!!!

Note: if you are new to Ericsson since 2023 and don't know what the Winter Games are? We have 2 days of fun events in alpine skiing and cross-country in different classes. Followed by a banquet on the last evening with prize-giving. 

Best regards
The ESIK organizing committee
