  • Man you musta got sun burned from takin off your shirt lol

  • I don't go shirtless, but for the ones that do, it's more the snow-burn from wiping out that's the concern.

  • i dont see whats so exciting about X country skiing. But i guess since so many people do it, it must be fun, would love to try it someday.

  • To understand the attraction to skiing, you have to try it and feel it. Skiing is a very rhythmical and addictive. The sensation of traveling so fast over snow with efficient movement is a unique experience.

  • Hi xcgeek - very entertaining - although it mainly shows parts of a training camp at cross country skiing. Therefore I do not think the music is too melodramatic. I think I know the classic theme at the beginning and the end - what is it?

  • Hey loewekater The opening song is from Jurassic park, and there are also two soundtracks from Gladiator in there too.

    P.S. By the way, you wouldn't be the Björn from Germany who sends us cards to autograph, would you. That would be funny if you were the same person.

  • You just have to do it to understand the freedom and connection you feel.

  • Thats lovely :)

  • xcgeek great job. I'm from Poland and I love cross country skiing but here we haven't such beautiful places for this sport.

  • Filmik jest dla mnie natchnieniem do uprawiania tego sportu. ( Very good film.)

  • Spettacolo!!!!!! W Xc

  • This video is bittersweet for me. It's awesome to see the XC skiing in such a beautiful setting but it reminds me of my failure to reach that area last week. I was supposed to ski in via Bryant Creek but had to turn back before the pass due to questionable avy conditions.

    I'll be back!

  • what is so exciting about cross country skiing? that's an excellent question. i think it's the feeling of free movement. every bit of momentum comes from the spirit, and every bit of spirit you give out you get back.

    keep moving.
