瓦萨十年的滑雪赛道在这盛夏时节别有另番风情。曾在严冬银装素裹，粉妆玉砌的银白世界如今也享受着盛夏阳光的恣意亲吻，如茵的绿草取代了皑皑白雪，却更显示了瓦萨中国之乡--长春净月潭的独特魅力。
It is a special flavor of walking on the 10 years old vasa ski slopes during the midsummer days. The white world which dressed up with the Snowcovered landscape is…
“It is with mixed feelings that I now choose to leave Vasaloppet for an assignment within the SkiStar group. It feels though that this is the right point for a new force to take Vasaloppet further into the next phase, together with the marvellous staff who know how an operation at this level should be run. I can only wish Vasaloppet all good fortune and a continuing positive development towards new goals,” summarises the departing CEO Jonas Bauer.
We begin immediately a recruiting process to find a successor, whom we hope can be in place when Jonas leaves Vasaloppet September 1.”

Swedish cross country skiing star Andreas Hoegberg outran Norway’s Sindre Hoff in a hotly disputed final of the 10th Vasaloppet China in Changchun. After 52.5k in sunny but cold conditions in Jingyue Park, Hoegberg had a gap of less than half a minute over Sindre.
Estonian skier Siim Sellis narrowly outsprinted Finland’s Kusti Kittilae in the final of the second stage of China Tour de Ski in Xiwuqi, Inner Mongolia. Sellis looked very strong throughout the preliminary rounds all day, and also immediately seemed to take control of the final 1.3k race. But in the ultimate metres Kittilae still came dangerously close to beating him on the line. Third place went to yesterday’s winner Anders Hoegberg.

Six seconds later, Philipp Bachl from Austria completed the podium.
Yesterday, 24 December, the Vasaloppet skiing week started with the traditional Vasa Student Ski. About 500 students from several Changchun universities took part in the competition.
