History of Skiing :

Skiing is an art and also a favorite sport for many. It has been around since before Christ, when the Norwegian hunters had to ski on flat wood to get more speed when hunting animals. The first findings were found in Rodody, Norway, although other proof has been found in Russia, for the same use.

Much later, around 500 A.D., the historian, Bizantino Procopius, talked in his writings about racing over the snow. This practice was widely used in snowy places throughout the world for several reasons: to move around in high snow levels, hunt, and for recreation purposes.

Little by little, techniques were perfected to be able to use skiis, and the art of skiing was born: how to ski over flat plains with no hills, styles of ski, etc. Material for skis has gradually been improved over the years to increase mobility and use.
