                Fingers were fine. Not as cold as it looks. In the sun hovering around zero and in the mist about minus 3.
                All the pictures were taken within a couple of hours of each other. Fantastic on top as there was an inversion.

                  I can only do the classic style albeit not very well. Would love to skate as well.
                  Thanks for the comment.

                    On top it is about 1,400mts above sea level. From our start point it was 600mts of climbing on skis. This place is higher than the nearby downhill slope.

                      Clearly not as fast as downhill skiers but watch XC skiers in competition and they can go quite fast downhill.
