There is a good chance that skiing goes back to the early days of homosapian as we migrated from Africa into a colder, snowier climate than we have today. All we truely know for sure is that the act of skiing is very much ingrained in our intuitive nature, and therefor a part of what makes us human.

That's all good and fine, but what do we, the modern human, have in common with our ansestridal past?

As the scrolls of time reveal, skiing as a sport began in Norway in the early 1800's and has since captured the attention of the privlaged few who have progressed the sport to the modern age. With such a long and storied history, one surly must question why something that began as a simple way to travel across the barren wastes has such a strong innate pull to anyone lucky enough to be captured by it. There are many sports that are both older and more accssable than skiing such as running, swimming, and oh, I don't know... fighting? but
