From 2004:

Great landscape, very nice people, good food during the race, a little bit too warm during the day. Especially for me, operated on my left knee 2 months ago, and my compagnion Bernhard Winkler from Southern Tyrol, Italy, whom had been torn 3 ligaments in his foot 3 weeks before the race, the finish was a big success. We did the Troll Ski Marathon not as a race, but as a skitour with foto-stops and small talks with friendly foodstation-volunteers. It was a wonderful experience! We will tell other cross-country-skiers about the Troll-Ski-Marathon and will come again in the next years.
