There are only two races left in the Ski Classics Pro Tour for Team Ramudden. The 31-year-old Norwegian star currently finds himself without a team for next season. At the same time, he has applied for a management position in the local business sector. His listed profession: “Athlete – cross-country skiing.”

Magnus Vesterheim has taken his first podium in Ski Classics, and the former football player, who only started cross-country skiing after turning 20, continues to make steady progress.

But now Team Ramudden is shutting down, and the future is uncertain.

According to iHarstad.no, Vesterheim is among the 14 applicants for the position of project manager for outdoor life and public health at the Midtre Hålogaland Outdoor Council.

The ski star from Harstad is competing in a strong field of candidates from across Norway.

The Midtre Hålogaland Outdoor Council is based in Narvik and works with the municipalities of Evenes, Tjeldsund, Kvæfjord, Harstad, Ibestad, Salangen, Gratangen, and Lavangen. Magnus Vesterheim is from Kvæfjord, just outside Harstad.

The hiring process is expected to be completed shortly after Easter, and interviews are currently underway.

At the same time, Magnus Vesterheim is preparing for the final weekend of the Ski Classics season: Reistadløpet and Summit 2 Senja in Troms.
