If you're driving through the Serra de Tramuntana and come across groups of shirtless athletes on skis with wheels on the ends and high, stiff boots on the sides, don't worry, you're not seeing things. They practice rollerskiing, better known as skiing on wheels, a technique similar to cross-country skiing. It's been around for over 80 years and has evolved in different ways until it became its own sport in the 1970s.
