SALOMON NORDIC STRENGHTEN ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH TEAM RAMUDDEN

Two-time Vasaloppet winner and top two youth women athletes in last season’s Visma Ski Classics will use Salomon equipment

After a successful collaboration in the 2019-2020 season led to a second Vasaloppet victory for Lina Korsgren, Salomon will expand its partnership with Team Ramudden, the top women’s team at the Visma Ski Classic. For the upcoming season, long distance rising stars Ida Dahl and Jenny Larsson will join Korsgren on Salomon skis, boots and bindings.

Team Ramudden has youth and experience

The two young Swedish skiers, who finished 1st and 2nd in the Visma Ski Classics Youth Ranking, are already looking forward to next season.

“I’m satisfied with my stability of being top-10, even though I wish a had some more peaks this season. I’m saving it for the next seaso,” said Larsson.

Dahl said that her goal for last season was to win the pink bib.

“I never thought I was going to have such good results,” she said. “My goal was to be a stable top-10 skier so I performed way over my own expectations.”

Korsgren, the two-time Vasaloppet winner, wants to help her teammates reach the top.

“I hope I can share and inspire my experiences to the younger women on the team,” she said. “They are wise and motivated, but sometimes it can be good to give them guidance in specific situations.”

“I have been a Salomon skier for fifteen years,” Korsgren added. “Me and the brand have grown together over the years and it has been a learning and fun journey to be part of!”

Gustaf Korsgren (Team Ramudden manager and Lina’s husband) has been working with Salomon for a number of years as well.

“Over the last years Salomon has grown from being one of the brand’s in the crowd of ski suppliers to one of the most wanted and biggest in the circuit. Still, it’s the same old good relationship!” Gustaf said. “Now, when I have the opportunity to help three athletes on the same brand of equipment, that means I really can sharpen the edge, and give the women a possible advantage with the skis. In a team perspective we also can spread our chances when the weather is tumbling.”
