Nordic Skating is a beloved winter leisure sport in Sweden, and its popularity is growing in neighboring countries. Many European skaters enjoy long weekends in Sweden, where a group of skaters tour frozen lakes and enjoy the nature and serenity. Rain worries a lot of beginner skaters - who feel the water may melt the ice - but a light drizzle of rain creates such a smooth surface on the wild ice. It eliminates the friction, and it helps skaters glide. Here is an image of a skater enjoying himself on Lake Roxen, as if he can skate without any limitations, into infinity.
