The origin of skiing isn’t known exactly, but it’s thought the first primitive skis may have evolved from snowshoes or early forms of sleds, as far back as 5,000 years ago. Today, men, women and children of all ages enjoy various types of competitive and recreational skiing including: cross country, slalom, downhill, back country, extreme, freestyle and ski jumping. The sport is one of the most popular in the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It can be expensive to ski though, as you usually have to pay to ski at various ski resorts, but if you take care of your skis, boots and other equipment they should last you for a few years at least.
