As the saying goes, Norwegian children are born with skis on their feet. This probably goes a long way toward explaining the number of medals Norway wins in top skiing competitions every year. From cross-country skiing (the national pastime) to snowboarding to ice-skating, dog-sledding, and snow-golfing, … more winter sport opportunities abound. Events like the Polar Night half-marathon in Tromsø and the annual ski jump competition in Holmenkollen (the biggest of its kind in northern Europe) are also worth experiencing if you can brave the cold. Ski season at all resorts is from November to April.
