What else is there to do in Norway other than Winter Sports? They are that good of Winter Athletes from a very young age.

Norway is a lot like North Dakota. Except Norway has mountains and fjords.

My husband and I lived in Northeast North Dakota, 8 miles south of the border with Canada, for almost 2 years from 1974 to 1976. Nothing to do up there other than to Cross Country Ski, Curl, or play Hockey. We would go to Winnepeg for weekends.
