I gradually began cross-country skiing as a teenager, but because of the dubious Danish winter weather, there wasn't much skiing this way. But then I heard that a friend of mine was going on a ski holiday in Geilo in Norway. Here they had rented a hut in Hovet, about half an hours' drive from Geilo, and as there was room for one more in the car, I jumped at the opportunity to go skiing in real snow. |
