Because the rules on advertising during the Olympics, I will not be able to update this page between February 4 and 3 March! But I expect that you insted look at the Olympics on television!
It has now been warm and raining on the Olympic Stadium up in Whistler. But there is no problem with the snow there! Despite the warm weather the skiing is good and it goes relatively fast! On Friday and Saturday are the races in Canmore! Then the athletes go to Mount Washington to train there before they a few days before the first race travel up to Whistler. All waxers will from Monday be in Whistler, starting with all the preparations before the first race. We also have with us a meteorologist keeping an eye on the weather during the Olympics, we expect to receive several updates during the days. That will be an important instrument to be ready for what is to come!

Great work so far and great fun to follow you guys this season!
The best of luck in Vancouver!!
Hhm, thought that I could ask some “last minute questions” before Vasaloppet / Öppet Spår as if there would be any…but no problem!
Önskar er alla den bästa för ert tävlingar!
Michl> Well if you have any questions for the vasaloppet? Write down you question here so I try to answer them! /Anders Niemi
Hej, thanks!
My first question came up during todays ski preparations for tomorrows König Ludwig Lauf as I ironed the powders…so what kind of personal haze and smok protection works best to protect your health (I don’t need to know brand names here as they would not comply with the OS rules…but recommendation for features would be great)?
Especially when working with the super tiny Nano powder stuff?
I don’t think that a “normal” gas mask can do the job…and what about all the other parts of your body that has more or less contact with the powder itself, the steam or the rubbish of the brushing? Do you wear gloves and eye protection for doing that? Is there any super-thin-meshed cloth available?
I experienced that if I’m waxing on my own (usually the day before a race) and use powders or HF or even some LF waxes it feels like i experience a reduced air potential of my for the first 15minutes or so…therefore I think that the waxing steam and the rubish dust inflluence the waxers health seriously if he doesn’t try to protect himself. Can you guys reproduce this with your own experiences (as I think most of you are/have been also professional x-country skiers and test a lot for yourself?
Questions, questions, questions…
Thanks for any hints or tips on that as I think that this is really important topic especially for unexperienced hobbyists like me!
Hej Vallarna,
klarar mig precis för imorgons Öppet Spår och läser igenom en bilaga av Dalarnas Tidninger om Vasaloppet och vem finns…? Vallarna!


Den är en jättebra interview om fluor valla och hälsan, mycket intressant…kanske kan ni spara den här också på webben så det alla annan kunde också läser den? Kanske även på engelska?
Ah en fråg kanske kan du hjälpa mig oss!?
Vi har precis -2 grader och mycket snöfall över den sista dager…
Skulle man njuter Nowax skidor med en varma högflour valla och pulver som glidevalla för den 90kilometer loppet imorgon?
önskar ni lycka till den 30 och 50 kilometer loppet!
Hej Michl, tyvärr såg jag din fråga lite sent, men jag tror det hade varit lite för kallt för nowax skidor skulle fungerat optimalt den dagen! Jag har själv läst den artikeln du beskriver och tycker att den är bra och saklig! Å visst gick det bra för oss på OS!! /Anders N
Hej Anders,
tack för din svar det gick jättebra i Öppet Spår jag njutade ingen Nowax ski där.
Jag är fortfarande nyficken om vilken “skydd luvan” ni använder när ni valla!? Jag menar den vilken man ser också i det artikeln…
Kanske kan du tippsa mig, det vore verkligen kul!
Hej Michl, den mask vi använder nu kan du hitta på: http://katalog.skydda.se/webspeed/katalog/kat_produkt.p?bid=V35&kat_bid=V35&dokid=wc77211 /Anders Niemi
Nu kan jag söker om jag hittar den här i tyskland…så det jag kunde använda den för den nästa säsongen.
Tusen tack därför!
