Nordic Iceskating

Madde Burgstrom is a passionate outdoorswoman and Nordic skater that spends much of her time in the Swedish backcountry. “Nature is my sanctuary. I can’t imagine a life not lived outdoors, in places crafted by nature rather than human hands. My soul needs it for me to stay sane, to stay grounded. When I’m outdoors – in the forest, in the mountains or on a frozen lake – it’s the only place I feel I can really breathe. You know, that deep breath that fills your whole body with energy and a sense of calm. This is where I feel most happy; it’s where I go to be myself, to feel free and connected to my soul and the earth – whether that's in a kayak, in hiking boots, on a bike or in a pair of Nordic skates.”
