How Did Skiing Begin?
You may think that skiing is a modern sport, but in fact it is one of the oldest forms of travelling that man knows. The word itself comes from the Icelandic word which means “snowshoe”, or “piece of wood”. Some scientists say that skiing goes back to the Stone Age, and all of them believe that ancient people of Scandinavia could ski very well and made skis of the bones of animals. There is even a picture on stone that is 900 years old that shows a ski runner.
Skiing as a sport began in Norway. This modern country always had snowy winters and there was much snow in the fields and in the woods for many months. So people used skis to get about. They used skis in winter when they went hunting to forests or mountains, they used skis when they went to visit neighbours or had to go to the market.
And if you think that ski races are a modern tradition, you are not right again. It may surprise you to know that they were having ski competitions back in 1767!
