The Vasaloppet Nordic Center in Mora shines as a treasure to the cross country skiing community throughout the region. Its beautiful facility welcomes families and skiing community, to gather for great skiing and healthy fun.
We also have the honor of hosting high school cross country ski races, coaches’ meetings, and provide an on-going resource to the community.
A Brief History
Built in 1999 by Vasaloppet USA, with funds donated by generous members of the community of Mora, the Nordic Center, upon was donated to the Mora Public Schools. It stays open to the public at no charge. The on-going facilities operations and maintenance, along with snowmaking operations, continues wholly funded by Vasaloppet USA. Managed by an army of volunteers, our snow farmers.
Vasaloppet USA , organized under 501(c)3 as a non-profit organization, means your your help falls under tax-deductible donations, supporting the operation and maintenance of the Nordic Center, such help of course greatly appreciated.
