Skiing

My favoutie hobby

Skiing was primarily used for transport until the mid-19th century. But, since then it has also become a recreation and sport. Military ski races were held in Norway during the 18th century,and ski warfare was studied in the late 18th century.As equipment evolved and ski lifts were developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, two main genres of skiing emerged—Alpine (downhill) skiing and Nordic skiing. The main difference between the two is the type of ski binding (the way in which the ski boots are attached to the skis).
