“We wanted to give cross-country skiing the ‘cool factor’ that it deserves. Cross- country skiing is unlike any other sport. It’s completely pure. There is something about being in a forest in the middle of winter gliding across the snow that refreshes your body and mind. Are other sports envious of cross-country skiing? We think so.”
