History:
History of ski started in the XIth century and we know it because there are paintings in the caves in Northern countries.
It became more popular and was improved in the XIXth century in Norway and there people started the ski races.
When people started to know this sport they wanted to practice it but the equipment was worse than now but people have been skiing better since the equipment has been developed.
This populas had been popular in many countries but it has been more popular in northern countries.
Equipment:
When you go skiing you should have good quality skis and boots.
Then, you also should wear thick clothes, gloves and a helmet because it’s dangerous to ski without it.
Language:
Rear entry -> are the simplest and cheapest type of ski boots and are good for beginners.
Slope style -> is a form of freestyle snowboarding.
In this style the skier is free to choose his own route and he has to get over some obstacles.
Ski cross -> it’s a new type of skiing competition and it’s based on the snowboard discipline.
Every competitor skis down the course and does all the jumps and abilities he can and then he classificates himself to the final.
Competitions:
In every country there are lots of competitions in winter and they are for all the ages and levels.
Competitions started a lot of years ago but in the XIXth century in Norway some people organized some competitions.
Favourite competitor:
I haven’t got any favourite competitor but I have found Mathias Zdarsky who died in 1940. He was who organized and invented the shortest and most difficult race of slalom. He was considered an eccentric inventor because nobody knew that he invented the slalom race.
