skiing – Kelly O'Mara

It turns out I’m actually not a terrible cross-country skier, which is unique solely in the fact that I’ve never been pretty good off the bat at anything involving coordination. But, all I tried was ‘classic’ or Nordic skiing. Because I was searching the difference between classic and ‘skate-skiing’ so much on my phone, Google recommended an article, which led to another article, which led to the fascinating and complicated history of the invention of skate-skiing in cross-country racing. Seriously. It’s weirdly interesting.

This is the most amazing thing ever. I really can’t believe ski ballet isn’t still an Olympic sport. Man, I would watch that.

In the mountains with my family this week. Snow running and skiing badly!
