New Visma Ski Classics Race Slots In Very Nicely

In its 10th season Visma Ski Classics series will make a very welcome expansion to its schedule For years now the season of the world's most prestigious series after the FIS World Cup would start in Livigno ( ( at least for amateur skiers) , at much beloved La Sgambeda at the first weekend of December. But then there was gaping hole in schedule, lasting from a few weeks ( when China Vasaloppet was part of the Visma Ski Classics) to a more than a month as the last season. That, of course, wouldn't do. As the series' maverick boss David Nilsson admits "...For several years we have been looking for an event suitable to expand our December event calendar..." And now it's finally there. Meet & greet La Venosta,…

A few years ago Johanna Albertsson was among the most promising young skiers not only in her native Sweden, but, by extension, in the entire elite youth skiing. Because you don't get invited to Sollefteå Skidgymnasiet , one the best teach & train institutions of its kind in the world, unless you are extremely good. Quick fact: Ebba Andersson and Frida Carlsson, cross country skiing biggest young stars, are both Sollefteå ski high school alumni. But Johanna had chosen a different path.
