> Exercise is difficult
Which is why they invented skiing! Norwegians do quite a lot of physical exercise but it has to vary over the year. Cross country skiing is a good way to get into nature and is great full body workout. But yes, the bikini beach party season seems to be so short that I've missed it every year, unless you're talking about the quick run from the sauna to the icy sea.

But now that I recall that most of Norway’s population is on the coast where temperatures stay more moderate, I wonder how many of them have access to good skiing conditions right outside their door.
- altacc 3y agoThis problem has been solved by everyone being rich enough to have a cabin in the mountains! Joking aside, whilst many people have access to a cabin through friends or family, most people don't have to travel far to go skiing as the temperature drops quickly as you go inland and uphill. There's also a lot of artificial snow production when it is cold enough for both downhill and cross country skiing.
