Default Scandanavian Nordic sports magazines?

Anyone know of any? Website links? I see there's Langrenn.com. Do any
have english versions?

I'd like to see a magazine (or site) that shows the whole range of
Nordic sport and culture.

I remember when I was a ski racer back in the mid-80's a pal loaned me
a pile of Scandi XC ski mags...they blew me away. I wonder if seeing
such things would still be impressive. I suppose it's a bit like how
we used to not be able to get any bike racing news here in the US so
the buffs would subscribe to Mirroir.

Now I know we can get XC race news today online quite easily but I'm
wondering if the Scandi media still cover a certain aspect that Nor Am
media/websites tend to neglect. Maybe the wider Nordic picture. ? For
instance, I remember thinking it was cool that the Scandi XC mags
included Jumping right in equally with XC.

What else could they include? Maybe the Nordic Skating or Sparks.
Maybe a more cultured/serious approach to Touring. ? I don't know. I
haven't seen such mags in eons.

If anyone had a pile they could loan or sell to me -- if they seemed
to fit this bill -- that might also be cool.

Thanks, JP
