		Vasaloppet can be placed with many other customary male virility symbols - gladiatorial combat, elk hunting, ironman, and so on - but, of course, there are many women on the course, and their numbers are increasing every year.
		Vasaloppet is the culmination of an intensive week of skiing in Dalarna, a week which would be completely impossible without the thousands of working hours which all the voluntary helpers and officials freely give.
		Vasaloppet thereby makes a valuable contribution to the smaller clubs and associations, making possible youth work for some 40 clubs in the Siljan and Sälen areas.
