The ski museum in Morgedal is very interesting. This area is the birthplace of modern skiing. It's twisted willow.
This guy is largely responsible for the modern ski and how to use it. He immigrated to America late in life. He died in poverty and obscurity on a North Dakota farm. Today if you know the history of skiing you know who this guy is. This monument is in McHenry County North Dakota.But this photo of it is in Morgedal Norway.
