Major efforts in the Vasaloppet Arena
Due to the quick weather changes with above-freezing temperatures over the past week, parts of the Vasaloppet Arena are currently very wet. The problems are most severe at the starting point in Sälen and along parts of the Sälen – Mångsbodarna stretch, especially around the first checkpoint in Smågan, where water is seeping up from the marshes and streams are overflowing. Intensive work is now underway to divert water and secure the snow supply for the weekend's races.
