And while disappearing snows are a concern of any cross country skier, they perhaps best know McKibben\u2019s name for another one of his titles, \u201cLong Distance: A Year of Living Strenuously,\u201d in which he explores the limits of endurance over a year of dedicated ski training. McKibben, a longtime scholar in residence at Vermont\u2019s Middlebury College, reflects on what he learned in writing \u201cLong Distance,\u201d why intellectual types gravitate to Nordic skiing and the future of cross country in a warming world.
