Muonio FIS Races. In Vision

Why are is Olos/Muonio is a roving capital of world cross country skiing in mid November?

– guaranteed snow for one – Muonio is the place where they invented snowfarming
– world class recovery and out-of-snow facilities
– chance to train with some of the world’s best skiers and biathlets on the same tracks
– and even to compete against them – all you need to sign up is a valid FIS code

Muonio/Olos FIS races traditionally serve as astart of international ski season
International superstars like Alexander Bolshunov come to participate
..sometimes stars get beaten by the relative outsiders of the previous season – like Erik Valnes
for many victory in Olos is season start morale boost – like Victoria Carl, who had relatively modest last season after high expectations
for the fans it’s a chance to see XCskiing greats – like Justyna Kowalczyk
..and to compete against them too, like Nicole Donzallaz does. All one needs to sign up for the race with Olympic and world medalists if a valid FIS code
Olos has true feel of international cross country skiing – meet Team Korea
Sponsors are at hand to distribute the newest weapons in the race for technical supremacy…
…and to remove the old ones, as Martin Galleberg, Madshus Racing Manager is doing on that picture, carrying old Redlines away from the Team Germany wax truck
that veteran of snowgrooming proves that Olos/Muonio was a place to go for early skiing before you were born
