The only explanation I can offer is there hasn't traditionally been time for anything else in wintertime, because they're so totally nuts about skiing. And you don't understand how totally nuts they are about it unless you've been in Oslo on a sunny winter weekend. The city (and it's a big one by Scandinavian standards, population at around 500k) is absolutely deserted at noon because everyone's left for the mountains or tracks by 10 am.
