      It was kept first time at 1922, they ski 90 km. has been canceled only 3 times ever (no snow).

      There is story behind it; at 1520 later king Gustav Vasa (then just Gustav Eriksson) was escaping from Sweden (Mora) to Lybeck German and countrymen from Dalarna (South Sweden) sent two their best skiers to get him come back to Sweden to lead war against Danish king Kristian II. Skiers went 90 km before they get to Gustav (from Sälen). Vasaloppet is between those Sälen and Mora.
