Cross-country skiing

An elaborate machine-powered collaboration between humans to create aesthetically pleasing athletic experiences

Cross-country skiing gives me great joy. For many years it played second fiddle to back-country mountain skiing, so I never put proper energy into developing cross-country skills, or finding good local trails. In recent years, however, the combination of the Covid-19 pandemic and the reality of having two small kids have motivated me to invest energy into enjoying my immediate surroundings more. And Oslo has incredible cross-country skiing.
