    Norwegians have much easier access to ski resorts than most Americans. In fact, many Americans who want to compete move to places like Colorado and California to have reasonable access. From a quick search, Oslo has similar access to ski resorts as Denver. If I had to guess, though, they’re less expensive and more easily accessed by public transit.

    Winter sports are also just more popular in Norway. I think this is for pretty obvious climatologial and historic reasons.

      Downhill is very much not cheap. I’d say it’s probably on par with us resorts.

      Skiing you can do for mostly free in season though.
