Last week it was suggested that I travel to Frognerseteren, a location on the Northwestern edge of Oslo. It is the last stop of Line 1 on the T-bane. Where I live, there was a tiny bit of snow. Up at Frognerseteren, well, take a look at the picture below.
Frognerseteren is a very popular area, especially during weekends when people go skiing and sleding. There is even a ski lift! Cross country skiing is also very popular in the area from what I saw while I was up there. I need to go back as I only headed north of the station, but apparently there are some nicer views of the city a bit south of the station.
A word of advice, though, go early, and get on at a station in the middle of the station. --I got on at Stortinget and there weren't many seats left. Lots of people with skis, though! It's about a 40 minute journey, but worth it. Here's one of the views I did find looking towards the city.

I'm very curious about the life in Scandinavia. Are the people there always go skiing in winter? And are they good at it? What I can do is build a snowman.:(
Skiing is definitely popular here, both downhill and cross country. It also appears to be easy to rent ski equipment, so even though it's popular, it's possible to either not do it at all or take lessons.
