On this episode of MN Reads, we talk with Ryan Rodgers, the author of Winter's Children: A Celebration of Nordic Skiing, published in 2021 by University of Minnesota Press.

Rodgers’ book is a thorough exploration in the evolution of Nordic skiing in Minnesota from the early days when Norwegian immigrants introduced the activity to the upper Midwest to the more recent days with changes in both the technology and the culture.

Minnesota Reads is produced at The North 1033 with funding provided in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
