Skiing arose as an outcome of the struggle of mankind to survive against nature. The primitive form of the ski in pre-historic times, in order for people to walk over the snow, consisted of wooden pieces in various shapes and sizes that were tied to their feet. The very first example of a ski dates back to 5000 years ago. Skis were made from ash, silver birch, and pine wood; the soles of the ski were made of pine wood which had been covered with tar; and the ski soles were made from silver birch wood which was coated with animal hides.

The Historical Ski Types

Siberia, Mongolia and Altai are the places where the ski first arose and was utilized. Later on it stretched

to North America, the Balkans, Anatolia and in the direction of northwest to Scandinavia and Iceland.

A primitive ski (Hoting Ski), which had been found in the year 1921 and made of pine tree in Sweden, had

been determined as being 4500 years old. Three types of skis were found after excavation.

    Southern Style Skis : The skis thought to be used in the Ural Mountains, Middle Europe and Southern

    Norway were tied at the ankles, long and the peaks had been folded upwards.

    Northern Style Skis : The soles of the ski reminiscent of those used in Siberia and the present day, had

    been coated with hide and were short and wide.

    Nordic Style Skis : The sole of the ski implied that the first skis used in Japan were corrugated and the
    left foot was longer than the right one.
