On track with EAB
As per tradition, EAB took part in Vasaloppet 2020, this year with five teams. For the 9th year, we were able to follow our skiers along the track from Sälen to Mora. To be ready for the competition, preparations began well in advance. Back in late summer and autumn 2019, our brave skiers were already training by roller-skiing - just like skiing, but without the snow.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP BREATHING Many of the skiers train together and hold a "Tabata” session together in EAB's sports hall on Tuesdays and Thursdays to charge themselves and pep each other up. This is a set-up that creates good camaraderie and solidarity just before the race.

EXPERTS GIVE TIPS To help us, we've brought in skier Henrik Alm from Gnosjö, to give us some worthwhile tips. During the week he works as a ski instructor and came 40th in last year's Vasaloppet, so he knows what he's talking about! A wax pro from SWIX has also visited us and taught us everything about waxing skis. He taught us about the various wax products available on the market and which ones were the best for all the skiers at EAB. When we visited Hestra Gloves in Hestra, we also found out everything about how the gloves, especially the skiing gloves, are made.
