Otto -
Norway has much more open terrain and (in my limited experience there and in your neighbor Sweden) well defined paths. The Porcupines (Porkies) have a lot of tangled brush and undergrowth, as does much of British Columbia where kutenay hangs out. In such conditions, having those long boards that get tangled in the vegetation is a serious problem. And you can't really get the advantage of gliding that skis give you in more open terrain and well-defined paths.
