The History of Skiing

Skiing arose as an outcome of the struggle of mankind to survive against nature. The primitive form of the ski in pre-historic times, was designed for people to walk over the snow, and 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 skis were first invented and utilized. Later it spread to North America, the Balkans, and Anatolia and further northwest to Scandinavia and Iceland. A primitive ski (Hoting Ski), which was found in 1921 and made of pine wood 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, were 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.

The Development of Skiing as a Sport

Skiing has been used as a method of transportation for intercommunication between Norway, Sweden and Finland and in some of East European countries from as early as the 15th century and was also used for military purposes. Sweden, Norway, Poland and Russia adopted skiing as a sport. Ski competitions were first arranged in Cristina in 1866 and as a result, greater organization was made in Oslo in 1879 and ski jump races were included. Due to this, a Norwegian man, Fridtj of Nansen, and his six man squad, reached the northern frontier of Greenland by ski, and after publishing his book, "The First Crossing of Greenland" interest in skiing greatly increased. In 1896 Mathias Zdarsky made a great break through by inventing new techniques on the basics of Alpine Style skiing.

The club named "Ski Club de Cristina" founded in 1877 Fridtj of Nansen, is the first in the world and others followed in 1890 in Germany, in 1907 in France and in 1903 in England
