Sei curioso di sapere quanti di voi hanno imparato con successo a sciare o pattinare in Finlandia da adulti? Se sei un principiante assoluto, con cosa è più facile iniziare? Lo sci alpino mi sembra troppo spaventoso, ma mi piacerebbe imparare a pattinare sul ghiaccio o fare sci di fondo!

I learned to cross country ski in Finland as an adult and have only ever been on the bunny hills for downhill skiing. I haven’t taken the time to go downhill skiing as my family enjoys cross country skiing more.
At the start, it was a bit tricky to learn to ski with your foot locked into the front of the plate on the blade but overall I don’t think it’s that hard with the right coaching.
I already knew how to ice skate (forwards) but learned how to ice skate somewhat backwards and how to do the sudden stop when going fast. I would say ice skating is also faster learned with decent skates and a good friend teaching you who has patience. You can probably find some decent skates from a secondhand shop if you don’t want to invest heavily.
Downhill skiing is not really possible unless you have a good economical capital to go to Lup north and play on the little hills that they have.
I’ve been downhill skiing since before I could read, but Finland has given me the opportunity to skate and cross country ski and both have been good for getting me outside and active while I’ve been in the country. It’s tempting to just stay inside but this gives me something nice to do that isn’t a spin on being productive
