All Aboard! We realize that many skiers have held off on registering for the Vasa until course conditions are more certain. Know this; with the new snow of the past two days, the trail is clean and white, and well groomed. It will provide an excellent race surface. The 10 day forecast, which takes us out to February 8, call for temperatures well below freezing with intermittent new snow. To encourage you to register soon, we will extend current pricing for an additional week. That is, the price increase scheduled for February 1 will be delayed until February 8. You can really help us with our planning and ordering by making your decision soon and coming aboard for Vasa 2015. Thank You

Trail Guides, Road/Trail Crossing Guards, Forerunners are a few of the jobs where skers' help is needed. Two Aid Stations are lacking Chiefs and Crews as well.
