Today about 13 000 people are skiing from Sälen to Mora in Dalarna, 90 km. This is broadcasted direct on TV and I have my own tr
adition concerning this. It is the Vasalopps-breakfast ;) maybe nothing special but I eat my breakfast in front of the TV and cheers for the Swedish skiiers. The start is at 8.00 in the morning and for the professionals the 90 km takes about 4 hours to finish, for the more "normal" people it takes from 6-10 hours. It all depends on the weather and how good the tracks are and of course if you have good stamina and condition.

He skiied, accoding to the story, from Mora to Sälen (but now they ski the other way..). It is a tradi
tional "manhood test", since the 1980's also allowed for women to participate. The women also have their own Vasalopp, Tjejvasan, it is the last 30 km of the Vasalopp.
