Cross-Country Skiing in Finland

It was a beautiful morning after a big snowfall. The sky was a perfect blue, the snow was fresh, and so I went out to go cross-country skiing on my own for the first time. I had gone out a few times before, but never on fresh snow. I didn't realize how bad I was until I returned home to see train tracks left behind by someone else.
