BÅSTAD-MÖLLE ski event We begin with a historical journey. In the premiere edition in 2021, Lina Korsgren won before Ida Dahl on the women's side, and among the men, Stian Hoelgaard won before Alfred Buskqvist. There is a clear historical connection with Båstad - Mölle; this as history's first ski race is supposed to have been organized at Kullaberg about 1,000 years ago. Harald Blue, was King of Denmark from 964 and of Norway until 974. As King, he introduced Christianity in Denmark. Harald Bluetooth married Tove in 963, who was a widow after Harald's abstinent brother Knut died the year before. Tove had a son Sven (Tveskägg) with Knut who became Harald's foster son. Harald Bluetooth himself had i.a.a daughter Gunhild who married Pallig Tokeseni England. She was murdered together with her family in the "Dane Murder" massacre in England in 1002. Palnatoke, according to the legend, was a Jom Viking and Danish chieftain from Funen who lived at the end of the 9th century. He is probably identical with the Toke, son of Palmairslau from Funen, who in 953 founded the Viking stronghold of Jomsborg in northern Poland. Some smaller stories about Palnetoke are also recorded at the end of the 12th century by the historian Saxo Grammaticus. In one of these it is told that Palnetoke was once forced by King Harald to shoot an arrow into an apple placed on Palnetoke's son's head. The story is a wandering tale but is interesting, not least because it is the world's oldest recorded version of the later so popular Wilhelm Tell legend. A funny episode is also mentioned by the above-mentioned Saxo Grammaticus: King Harald, who is said to have been a good cross-country skier, was once challenged in this "sport" by his enemy Palnatoke at a gathering on Kullaberg in Scania, whereby Harald demanded that Palnatoke go down one of the steepest cliffs which would actually mean death. However, the intention came to naught as Palnatoke survived. This is said to be the oldest referenced ski competition in history. Even today, the place is called Palnatoke's slope on Kullaberg. https://lnkd.in/dw-ykqED

Orsa Grönklitt invests SEK 50 million This coming Spring, Orsa Grönklitt will begin the single largest investment in alpine skiing in the company's history. - The decision to realize this creates incredible joy and optimism for everyone in Grönklitt, says Johan Sares, CEO Orsa Grönklitt. SEK 50 million. This is how much Orsa Grönklitt will invest in the area where the former Orsa Rovdjurspark was located in Orsa Kommun. It is the single largest investment in alpine skiing in the company's history. The idea is that the area will have new slopes, a new Funpark, additional so-called "Funslopes", and play areas for smaller children. A new ski lift on the south side may also be built. - We see an extremely large potential in Orsa Grönklitt, but we need to improve the alpine product. Now that we have access to the land of the former Orsa Rovdjurspark, this investment feels right in our ambition to continue developing Grönklitt. There remains a lot of planning and work, but it is inspiring for everyone that the decision is made, says Göran Bronner, owner and group CEO Orsa Grönklitt, in a press release. This project will begin in the spring/summer of 2024 and continue for two years. The hope and plan is that skiing will be made possible in the area as soon as the winter season 2024/2025. #investindalarna #visitdalarna https://bit.ly/4cxQtto
