By the way what are rock skis?


Wow, you must come from a place where the snow is really good! :-)

(I saw gene already answer you question, so I can kid around).

I think he is in Norway, the land of endless snow. I am in Rochester, NY
the land of endless teases about snow--- looks like yet another lake
effect storm missed us.

If you are talking about me, I am indeed in Norway, this weekend (like
most winter weekends) in Rauland, Telemark.

Yes, this is probably one of the nicer places in the world if you're
into xc skiing...

Take a look at http://visitrauland.com/ !

(We had the HelteRennet here today, several family members took part: A
little windy but bright blue skies, -5C and perfect tracks for everyone.)

OTOH, Oslo where we spend the rest of the week ins't really that bad
either, with something like 3-4000 km of properly maintained xc ski
trails, a few hundred of them lighted at night.
