On January 2nd the 13th edition of Vasaloppet China was held in Changchun and for the first year under the Worldloppet flag. In minus 15 degrees and sunshine skiers from more than 15 countries started in the Jingyuetan snow sculpture arena outside the city of Changchun with its 8 million inhabitants.
The magnificent snow sculpture arena and the 25 km long Vasaloppet track totally contained more than 500.000 cubic meters of artificial snow and had therefore no problem to live up to the snow warranty.
With live broadcasting in Chinese national television (CCTV) from helicopter and the big increased number of participants, both on elite and children level, we consider Vasaloppet China 2015 thru our membership in Worldloppet as a big step forward.
