"SOL's owner, Liisa Joronen, a slim, charismatic brunette of 50..."
Hi,
Please have a look at this sentence:
SOL's owner, Liisa Joronen, a slim, charismatic brunette of 50, back from a 90-mile keep-fit cross-country ski run in Lapland, says that she has thrown out traditional hierarchies in favour of people motivation and the strict auditing of targets
Could you please tell me what the bold part means?
Thank you very much
Nessie

Substitute this for the bold face type, and you get the same general meaning: who has just recently returned from a trip to Lapland, where she skied 90 miles, cross-country style, as part of a program to keep herself healthy CJ

"... who has just returned after exercising by skiing 90 miles in Lapland" (= northernmost Finland)
Cross-country skiing is the Nordic type of skiing on fairly level terrain, not the kind they go for in the mountains.
