Welcome to the new Cross Country (Längd) skiing section

The ESIK cross country skiing club has more than 200 interested and many active participants.

We have two main trips every year to Orsa Grönklitt, first trip second week of December, around Lucia, and second trip is normally the second week in January. We will post information about trips here well in advance.

We hope the new web environment will be great for sharing information for employees, pensioners and even to friends who would like to join us on trips, i.e. based on availability.

The Cross Country section also helps out with ski-races like "Öppet Spår" and Vasaloppet, as well as the Ericsson skiing championships, (used to be hosted in Idre Fjäll). More info will be posted!

We try to also do some roller skiing training sessions during the autumn in Kista (or at some alternative track).

Extra places in Orsa now on Thursday

Due to illness and other things at least 4 people are not able to travel. This means that their places are paid for and can offer their places to someone who might want to travel.

2 in one cabin with a course spot as well. The price can be discussed. The people have paid 850 per space and 2150 for the course. If you are interested reach out to me or Jan Ekström as soon as possible. We can help arrange a seat in two cars if required.

There are a few other spaces, but there the travel is a problem as one is a person who was taking their car.

We can even think of a lower price, but this was more to offer an opportunity.

At the moment Orsa has 6.5 prepared trails and there is also Multibanan that is quite long, but it is not open, though people are skiing it. So this is very good so early in the season.

I know this is short notice, but we want to try and fill spots and reduce the costs to people who have become ill, as we will not be able to refund everything.

For non Ericsson people it is 1150 kr.

If you are looking for the possibility to ski on snow close to Stockholm, Täby will have a track. If you buy a season card it has a discount of 200 SEK to the 31st of October.

Orsa Grönklitt trip 9-12 January 2025 open for booking!

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 130 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.

Registration Orsa December

76 spaces are almost filled. We have a few people who have notified that they will not be able to participate . If you are interested in taking over their spot, contact me as soon as possible, Dominic.

Update 23/10 this is our largest group so far and this is fantastic. Currently 12 people have registered for the Tynell coaching, and the feedback from the coaching has been very good. If you are interested, you can still book a slot. There is interest for Skate/free technique as well, so please indicate if you would like classic or skate coaching.

Orsa have delayed the season premier and this is good. Let's hope the temperature drops there soon.

Kind regards

Dominic McAleenan and Jan Ekström

If anyone wants to represent ESIK at Norrskidan, I got info from Täby Skidor. Would be great if we could start to be active in competitions. It is not super competitive, it is more about being there.
