Det er formet g jennom århundrer. Og mer enn det. Det bærer vitnesbyrd om våre verdier. Idrettsglede. Fellesskap. Helse. Ærlighet. Sporet er formet av ski og snø. Uadskillelig fra vår nasjonale identitet. Det er en del av vår kulturarv. En del av vår folkesjel. Sporet ligger der. Det går g jennom by og land. Det fører utover i landskapet og innover i sjelen. Det ligger der om vi søker bakkens yrende liv eller naturens stillhet. 4 Det ligger der for alle. For store og små, for gammel og ung. For de som vil vinne og for de som bare vil fryde seg. Sporet er fylt av skiglede. Uten skigleden, ingen skisport. Ingen vinnere på jakt etter gull. Ingen tilskuere langs løypene. Ingen turgåere i skog og mark. Ingen barn i bakkene. Det ligger et spor foran oss. Også i de neste århundrer vil vi se det fylt av mange skiløpere. Gode skiløpere. Glade skiløpere. Som setter spor etter seg.
