The lakes and nearby bay frozen solid. (Picture of Järla lake.) Kim's old swimming place dressed in snow and ice. Travelling on the ice is nothing new to the Swedes. Sweden even won a a battle against neighboring Denmark by marching its entire army over the ice to capture Copenhagen in 1658.
WC in his pram next to the ski trail out on the lake. Open ice skiing and/or skating is a big thing here. But don't think that the Swedes stay away from safety measures. One of the most commonly seen safety gear here are the ice-prods (wooden or plastic prods with sharp steel points - used to grip the ice when climbing on to it from the water). Also - the open-ice skates are quite different from regular skates (see below).
