Cross country skiing holidays
I've either work with, or have been on holiday with the companies listed below, or have had them recommended to me. If you know any other good ones, do let me know.

Exodus offers a great choice of small group holidays that are led by experienced leaders [most are qualified ski instructors] to help you find you find the best skiing and build your cross country skiing skills. Destinations include Norway, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.
Cross country skiing at KvitavatnOne of my favourites is Kvitavatn in Norway where are extensive ski trails through unspoilt countryside and infinite off-track possibilities. The snow record is excellent and it's a great choice for all levels of skier. But I'm biaised - I hope to be working there again for Exodus in from February to April 2014.
