Thirty years ago, environmentalist Bill McKibben wrote “The End of Nature,” the first book for a general audience on climate change. And while disappearing snows are a concern of any cross country skier, they perhaps best know McKibben’s name for another one of his titles, “Long Distance: A Year of Living Strenuously,” in which he explores the limits of endurance over a year of dedicated ski training. McKibben, a longtime scholar in residence at Vermont’s Middlebury College, reflects on what he learned in writing “Long Distance,” why intellectual types gravitate to Nordic skiing and the future of cross country in a warming world.
