November 04, 2011 – A new cross-country ski book has just been published about Hannes Larsson – a master among masters. He has completed 22 World Loppet Master Passports. He has finished more than 300 ski marathon races, more than 40,000km (the Earth’s Circumference). He is the founder of the International Association of Worldloppet Skiers. He is a retired engineer speaking 7 languages. At the age of 80, he is an inspiring character that I regularly greet on the World Loppet Circuit. This book will inform and inspire all cross country skiers. It is a coffee table book for travelers chronicling the 15 World Loppet Races plus other race destinations from Austria to New Zealand. It is filled with inspiring photos and accounts of a life well lived. Bravo Hannes! See you on the tracks.
