History of skiing

Okay kiddo, skiing has been around for a really long time- around 8,000 years! People first started using skis to travel in snowy places like Scandinavia, which is a cold country with lots of snow.

It started off just as a way to get around in the snow, but then people started using skis to hunt and race each other.

In the 1800s, skiing became more of a sport in a place called Norway. People would race each other on skis and do tricks.

Then, in the early 1900s, skiing became really popular in Europe and North America. People started building ski resorts for people to visit and enjoy skiing as a fun activity.

Skiing has also been a part of the Olympics for a long time, since 1924. Skiers from all over the world compete against each other to see who is the best.

So, skiing has a long and interesting history, and now it is enjoyed all over the world!
