Do you cross-country ski? Thank this Norwegian who lived to 111, by John Batt
As we move out of the threatening bite of winter into the warm embrace of spring, some of us may be reflecting on the way we spent the last season. Perhaps you found yourself in the Laurentians region of Quebec and perhaps you partook in the ever-rewarding activity of cross-country skiing.
If you did, there’s a good chance that those trails were blazed or connected by Herman “Jackrabbit” Smith-Johannsen, who is credited with popularizing cross-country skiing in Canada.
