Cross Country Snow
"Cross Country Snow" is a short story written by Ernest Hemingway. The story was first published in 1924 in Ford Madox Ford's literary magazine ''Transatlantic Review'' in Paris and republished by Boni & Liveright in Hemingway's first American volume of short stories ''In Our Time'' in 1925. The story features Hemingway's recurrent autobiographical character Nick Adams and explores the regenerative powers of nature and the joy of skiing.
==Background==
In 1922 Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley came to Paris where he worked as foreign correspondent for the ''Toronto Star''. During that period he made friends with modernist writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ford Madox Ford, James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein, who influenced his early development as a fiction writer.〔Desnoyers, Megan Floyd. ("Ernest Hemingway: A Storyteller's Legacy". ) JFK Library. Retrieved September 30, 2011〕 The year 1923 saw his first published work, a slim volume titled ''Three Stories and Ten Poems'', followed the next year by a collection of short vignettes, ''in our time'' (without capitals).〔Baker (1972), 15–18〕〔Oliver (1999), 168–169〕 Hoping to have ''in our time'' published in New York, in 1924 he began writing stories to add to the volume.〔Mellow (1992), 271〕 On October 5, 1925, the expanded edition of ''In Our Time'' (with conventional capitalization in the title) was published by Boni & Liveright in New York.〔Baker (1972), 410; Oliver (1999),169〕
In those years the Hemingways were avid skiers after their first trip to Switzerland in 1922. Hadley wrote "skiing became a must", adding, "It is the kind of thing that it seems one will never learn, and then all of a sudden you can do it". In the early 1920s they stayed in Montreaux and skied at Les Avants; by the mid- 1920s they spent most of the winter months in Austria, at Schruns. Hemingway wrote "Cross Country Snow" in 1924 after wintering for the first time in Cortina d'Ampezzo with Hadley and their infant son Jack.〔Danby-Smith, Valerie. "The Short Happy Ski Life of Ernest Hemingway". ''Skiing Heritage''. September 2009.〕
Hemingway took skiing lessons from the partner of Austrian skiing instructor Hannes Schneider, where friends such as John Dos Passos joined him. Without ski lifts, skiers made the steep climb to high snow fields, a challenge Hemingway enjoyed, followed by the exhilaration of skiing down. In the spring months they were able to ski as many as 40 miles a day on the glaciers. For the first time he grew a beard during the winter months to protect his skin from sun and snow.〔
