Nordic Tour Skating

Long-distance skating on natural black ice using long-blade Nordic (tour) skates that clip to touring boots — covering kilometres of wild lake and river ice rather than circling a rink. The craft is half locomotion and half survival judgement: sounding ice thickness with an ispik (ice pole), reading how wind, current, and snow-cover change the ice from pane to pane, carrying ice claws and a throw-line for self-rescue, and holding a long gliding stride over flexing 'rubber ice' that booms underfoot.

One Strike of the Pole Was the Whole Test

Nordic Tour Skating

An iceboat spun me out on ice I couldn't read, so naturally my fix was to strap on longer blades and go read it one nervous pole-jab at a time.
