[[File:Skidstadionlugnet1.JPG|thumb|[[Lugnet, Falun|Lugnet]] during the 2008 event]] The '''Swedish Ski Games''' ({{lang-sv|Svenska skidspelen}}) is an annual [[cross-country skiing]] event in [[Sweden]]. It was started in [[Sundsvall]] in 1947. It was moved to [[Falun]] in 1959. [[Ski jumping]] and [[Nordic combined skiing]] were included up to 1991 as a recurring event. [[Alpine skiing]] was also included between 1950 and 1953 (in [[Åre]]). [[Biathlon]] was included in 1984. The event is usually held in February or March as one of the final World Cup competitions during the season. The event is usually held at [[Lugnet, Falun|Lugnet]]. Sometimes the lack of snow has required the event to be moved to other places in Sweden.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://skidspelen.se/historia/|title=Historia|publisher=Swedish Ski Games|language=Swedish|accessdate=1 March 2015|archive-date=2 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402162222/http://skidspelen.se/historia/|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==Events== {{div col}} * [[Swedish Ski Games 1947|1947]] – [[Sundsvall]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1948|1948]] – [[Östersund]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1949|1949]] – [[Sollefteå]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1950|1950]] – [[Östersund]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1951|1951]] – [[Sundsvall]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1952|1952]] – [[Falun]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1953|1953]] – [[Boden]] * [[FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1954|1954]] – [[Falun]] (combined with the World Ski Championships) * [[Swedish Ski Games 1955|1955]] – [[Stockholm]]-[[Nässjö]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1956|1956]] – [[Falun]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1957|1957]] – [[Sollefteå]] * 1958 – No competitions held * [[Swedish Ski Games 1959|1959]] – [[Falun]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1960|1960]] – [[Falun]]/[[Sälen]]/[[Transtrand]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1961|1961]] – [[Falun]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1962|1962]] – [[Falun]]/[[Bjursås]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1963|1963]] – [[Falun]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1964|1964]] – [[Kiruna]] * [[Swedish Ski Games 1965|1965]] – [[Falun]] * [[Swedish Ski Games
