From an aquavit-fueled 19th-century Swedish ski marathon to the United States’ first ski league in Minnesota, Ryan Rodgers’ Winter’s Children “captures the essence of cross-country skiing in the Midwest,” says Nordic gold medalist Jessie Diggins. The author will present slides and share anecdotes illustrating the sport’s spread from Norway to Minnesota and on to the rest of the United States, including Cloquet and the Pine Valley ski jump.Ryan Rodgers' book Winter’s Children: A Celebration of Nordic Skiing came out in 2021 from the University of Minnesota Press. His outdoor writing appears regularly in several regional publications. He lives in Duluth.
