Sondre Norheim's grave

Every Tuesday morning in the Høstfest Week people meet at the cementery at Denbigh about an hours drive from Minot. In 2006 this Tuesday morning was a cold and windful day.

Modern skiing is said to date from 1868, when Sondre Norheim first demonstrated his skis and his skiing techniques in Christiania (now Oslo).
