Geography - Cross country skiing - Norway

Cross-country skiing is part of the Nordic skiing sport family, which also includes other ski sports such as ski jumping, and a combination sport of cross-country skiing and ski jumping called "Nordi combined". Free-technique cross-country skiing is also the method of "locomotion" in the combination sport of Biathlon, which adds rifle marksmanship to skiing. Another combination sport is ski-orienteering, which adds the skill of map navigation along snow trails and tracks.
Related sports are sports such as backcountry skiing and Telemark skiing.
