Cross Country Skiing in the Vast Backcountry of Greenland
Ancient. Modern. Liberating.
The word "ski" has interesting origins: means "sticks of wood" in old norse.
Cross-country skiing is skiing at a whole new level. Instead of pre-determined pistes and mechanical lifts, you travel across the snow and climb to ideal locations.
This allows the skier to explore the most beautiful and exclusive parts of any terrain usually inaccessible to tourists. As if Greenland wasn't remote enough, cross-country skiing allows you to get to the most remote parts of an already remote territory.
Often skiing is done at ski resorts specifically designed for individuals to ski down mountain sides. Cross-country skiing goes back to the roots of the practice as a historic form of transportation. Cross-country skiing is what skiing was originally developed for: the purposes of traveling across snow for long distances.
