About
About Ski
Ski is a town and former municipality in the new municipality (as of January 1, 2020) of Nordre Follo Municipality in the greater region Follo, in Akershus county, Norway.
The town derives its name not from skiing equipment (which predictably is a Scandinavian invention in its modern form), but rather from skeið, Old Norse for "horse racing track".
