Hi all,

The season is over. I last skied Friday two weeks ago in Ågesta. It was a good season there at least. Some of you maybe skied Lofsdalen at the weekend, and Easter is just around the corner. We need to look ahead. 

We don't have a board for the cross-country skiing section. Myself (Dominic) and Jan have organized the trips to Orsa. And I do the Vasaloppet and Öppet Spår trips where Ericsson pays for the buses (which they will continue to do in 2026). 

I'd like to offer the opportunity to join in a conversation about our group. What would like to do more of? How can we maybe train together? Do we want to have rollerskiing sessions? Would we like to have more trips, a bit like the Alpine section? Should we look into taking a bus instead of 10-15 cars? Would that be a help or a hindrance? 

Now we also have several fantastic articficial tracks, Täby, Sundbyberg, Ågesta, Nacka GK, Lida and Rudan to name a few and we could try to have sessions at a few of those. How about even having some competitions again. Norrskidan and Söderskidan still exist and other clubs particiapate. 

If we want to do more, it might be good to have a board that can help out with planning. I want to at least book the cabins for Orsa for the coming season as soon as possible, so my proposal is that I will add all of you to a teams meeting. It will be an evening. At about 7 pm. If you want to join, please do that, if not just decline. If you can't but have ideas, or want to contribute, send me an email. 

Let's make the most of our section. Talk to you all soon,

BR

(PS I was elected chair of Ericsson Sports Federation 2025-2027) a few weeks back. We will continue to try and do things with other Ericsson clubs too.

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.

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.
