Downhill skiing in Norway :)

Downhill skiing is a popular sport in Norway, that most likely is as wildspread as it is because of the cold climate and the snowy winters. In the winter many Norwegian families travel to the mountains for the holidays to ski. We have some of the worlds best downhill skiers, like Kjetil Andre Aamot and Aksel Lund Svindal.

Many Norwegians also does snowboarding, ski jumping, telemark, twintip and cross-country skiing, but regular downhill skiing is one of our most wildspread sports. I also thing that downhill skiing is one of our funniest sports, and it offers a lot excitement and thrills. Skiing techniques are difficult to master, and many places in Norway offers ski-schools that teach you everything from the basics of turning and stopping safely to more advanced carving, racing and newer freestyle techniques.
