Thousands years ago, skis were devised as the means for self survival, which were
gradually used in miltary purposes. Greek and Roman historians such as Herodot, Strabo
and Plirie Senior offer us much information on them.
Althoug it is difficult to say for sure where the cradle of skiing is, a relation between
the beginning of sports skiing and Scandinavia is definite.
In recent 250 years, skiing has continuosly changed. Lots of different schools have
improved it and made it one of the most attractive sports nowadays. All of them, however,
have failed to prevent the decrease in popularity of this sport, which took place at the end of
80s and beginning of 90s in the last century. The construction of the new-old skis was the
right solution. The carving was born. N/AAbstract
