Nordic Ice Skating on the Frozen Lake

Skating on natural ice. Deep in the woods there is a little lake that freezes early. Until snow comes Nordic ice skating is a really nice activity!

The skates can be used with common ski bindings (Rottefella NNN) and ski boots. Very practical as you can walk far in the boots to find good ice. Skates are long to run smoother over uneven surfaces and long distances. The type is very common and popular in Sweden, hence the name 'Nordic ice skates'. The Swedish name is 'långfärdsskridsko' and means 'Long trip skate'.

    Make sure to learn about Safety on Ice before entering frozen lakes! The ice in this video was perfectly safe. Have a nice November! :)

    Where i grew up in , yes, New Jersey there was a lake in the woods that I lived very close to which would freeze as smooth as glass at least once each winter. Skating on a foggy morning on that lake is as close to heaven as I've ever been. Seeing this released a flood of memories of those serene days. Thanks!!

    I grew up in texas so i’ve never seen much snow. But I can imagine heaven, if it exists, is just being alone on a never-ending frozen lake. In fact, I have severe anxiety and one of the exercises I do when I feel it creep up is visualization, and usually visualize myself doing something like this. The idea of the cold, the quiet, the pristine ice is just so soothing to me. Someday I will go somewhere cold and try it. Except I’m Argentinian so maybe I’ll enjoy a nice mate 🧉 instead of coffee haha
