Our guests arrived in sporty ski outfit, they already finished their first sprint distance. Furudal proved it can host more than ice-hockey events, it’s a fun place for competitions and activities like the Swedish Mastership ski-orienteering as well. Ski Orienteering is an endurance winter sport combining navigation and cross-country skiing across a rough terrain using prepared cross-country ski tracks. It’s time-measured and objective, the fastest time wins. An electronic card verifies that the athlete has visited all control points in the right order.
To watch it from a Dutch point of view: it already seems difficult to run and to orientate, let alone to do so on skis! But enjoying the sun and see all these participants (young and old, even a 75-year-old lady, passed me really fast!) skiing to the finish makes one happy and proud to live in this little village in the woods.
Last week it was: the Nordic Mastership Husky contest and exhibition, this weekend SM I Ski-orienteering and in March and April the Ice hockey tournament for youth (IFK Ore Cup 2017). Furudal delivers! Hopefully there will be more of these events in the future, what about ice-skating on lake Ore, an ice-hockey match on one of our lakes or MTB-races or a sledge race on Sirapsberget. Everything is possible if you use your imagination. We would love it and you?
