Ski run

 

 

 

The ski run is a Nordic discipline, also called Nordic skiing. It is a relatively easy discipline to learn but requires enormous strength and training. It has a very long history in Norway and other Nordic countries. The reason for that is an average of very long winters, nearly half the year in some areas. Considering that movement is fairly difficult in those conditions, an easy way to move had to be invented.
Ski run became a national sport in Norway, and their athletes are always considered favorites in this discipline.
Equipment for this discipline is much lighter than alpine skiing equipment, which is necessary for movement in flat terrains.
