Yes, the starting point is rigth by Svarttjern. This is one of Norways most popular cross country skiing places. There are a ski stadium, a gas station, Shell, A motel. And houndreds of cabins. :)
Our favourite Canadian! Thanks again Bill! We really appreciate your comments and your views! Happy u enjoyed it! And yes, indeed very tough conditions for us❄️
Looks like, for the terrain, snow conditions and your speed of choice, classic/parallel skis, possibly with skins, might have been a better option, although, probably less stylish and certainly less entertaining to watch.
Classical skis for sure. Skins would be of not much benefit, too poor glide. At these temperatures and snow conditions some traditional blue gripwax would be plenty enough for grip without stealing glide.
@@KitagumaIgen Actually, skins glide the best on dry, cold, fresh powder snow and worst on compacted snow with coarse granular surface. Kick wax doesn't hold well if the snow gets too deep, which might have been from what I've seen. But if it was mostly groomed trails with a bit of powder on top then certainly kick wax would be the best option. Although, they would need to reapply it several times for such a long adventure.
@@seahog32 They were skiing for a long time, perhaps 15-20 km, tops, look at the map. Compare how deep they sink when they took their skis off compared to how little new snow there were in the tracks, perhaps 10-20 cm. Whether skins glide relatively better in deep snow compared to on tracked is not all that relevant.

That looked like a very difficult feat with the snow and -15c weather. Have to give you all credit for trying. Great job.. I enjoyed the video Cheers!

Haha yeah or maybe a snowmobile and google maps would have done the job.
But very very fun sport and a great way to enjoy the winter landscape!
