The Dailyskier note: Nadine Fähndrich has, perhaps, the most exciting and exotic personal sponsor in the whole of the international cross-country skiing: not only is it a huge, billion dollar company - it's the aircraft maker who's name is rather synonymous with high flying, both literally and figuratively speaking.

Gear News, Newsfeed
We all know that this century all podiums at the World Cup/World Championships are being won on Fischer, Atomic, Rossignol, Madshus or Salomon ( collectively known as FARMS) skis. But some athletes go against the grain and use even in those august competitions the skis being made by the other manufacturers. One thing strikes us as a bit odd: male skiers are very traditional while female ones are much more open to experimenting. At least when it comes to choosing their skis.
