Cross-country skiing in Finland is infrastructure, not leisure. School children ski to school. Adults ski through forests. The terrain is mostly flat, which means the effort is in the legs and the lungs rather than the gradient. Finland has some of the highest rates of cross-country skiing participation in the world. This is not accidental.
For the Finnish skier who knows every trail in the local network, has done them in every condition and prefers the ones where you do not meet anyone.
About Very Finnish Problems
VFP was started by British author Joel Willans, who met his Finnish wife in London and moved with her to Helsinki in 2002. Over the next two decades his observations of Finnish life grew into a community of 1.3 million people worldwide. Every design is inspired by real Finnish life and created by Joel and his team in Helsinki. Joel is also the author of the Very Finnish Problems books, written after many years of living in Finland and still not fully understanding it.
