The ski season has started, but the weather continues to fluctuate in some areas, and conditions on many early-season snow tracks are far from ideal. So how should you train at this time of year?
Team Edux continues to carry the Finnish flag in Ski Classics. After finishing 15th in the Pro Team ranking during Season XVI, the squad enters the new winter as the only Finnish team on the Pro Tour, proudly representing the blue-and-white colors on the international stage.
A new and exciting name is emerging on the Finnish long-distance skiing scene. Lauri Mannila, who made a name for himself in sprint skiing, has taken a determined turn in his career and is now aiming for success in the Ski Classics series.
Team Edux held its first training camp of the summer in Vuokatti at the turn of June and July. The Pro Team now has an ambitious goal: to raise the bar even higher and push closer to the top of the Ski Classics Pro Tour. One of the athletes leading this charge is Lauri Mannila, who has left sprint skiing behind to pursue success in long-distance skiing, to reach the very top of the sport.
After winning the world’s longest ski race last winter, Sweden’s Sofia Lindberg is setting her sights on breaking into the top 10 of the Ski Classics Pro Tour.
Team Edux is aiming for a clear step forward next season. One of the Pro Team athletes expected to raise his level is the experienced Isac Holmström, originally from Åland, for whom Vasaloppet will once again be the main race of Ski Classics Season XVII.
Finnish long-distance skiing is undergoing a transition period, as Team Mäenpää ended its ten-year run after this past season, and Team Kaski-Ekovilla already folded the year before. Team Edux is now the only remaining Finnish Ski Classics team carrying the blue-and-white flag on the Pro Tour. For the upcoming season, the Pro Team has decided to go all in and see if Finnish skiers can fight their way to the top. To reach that goal, Team Edux kicked off its first training camp of the season in Vuokatti.
Team Edux is a Finnish Ski Classics Pro Team that now carries the responsibility of representing the blue-and-white colors in the world’s toughest long-distance skiing series as a lone wolf.
The snow from the past ski season has already melted, and skiers have turned their focus toward the upcoming winter’s Olympics, various championship races, or the Ski Classics series.
This Pro Team has been the most successful Finnish squad in Ski Classics in the past three years. After securing the 20th position in the Pro Team ranking during Season XV, Team Edux looks forward to the upcoming winter season.
