Fragments of skisвЂ”primitive but unmistakably similar to the skis of todayвЂ”found in the north of Russia date back to 6,000 B.C.Theorized to be used as a means to cross swaths of frozen land and hunt, skiing eventually transformed from a tool of survival to an activity done for fun. Traversing or gliding across snow has been a common sport for millennia. The perfect fitting hooded jacket features Polartec В® Thermal Pro В® Advanced Fleece to provide warmth, comfort, and long lasting durability.

Skiing became the sport we know today in Norway thanks to the countryвЂ™s history with skiing that made its way into military training and eventually competitions. The sport became popular in many places around the world with the climate and terrain to support itвЂ”and even in places where it doesnвЂ™t, as is the case with DubaiвЂ™s indoor ski park. Skiing and big-mountain explorations were captured by filmmakers like вЂњSki BumвЂќ Warren Miller, while James Bond regularly escaped foes on the slopes.

Those who want one ski to handle everything turn to all-mountain skis. Carving skisвЂ”often used in the American northeast or generally in icy conditionsвЂ”are thinner, with edges set at different angles to facilitate carving into the ice while skiing.Skiers in the Western statesвЂ”with consistent natural snowfall or вЂњdeep powвЂќвЂ”make more use of wider skis that are excellent for fresh powder. Width, stiffness, and dimensions are altered to make skis that handle different conditions. Accessing terrainвЂ”via mechanized options, including chairlifts , gondolas, rope tows, and magic carpetsвЂ”is one of the aspects that sets this type of skiing apart from those that require human power to ascend the mountain before gliding back to the base.Different options of skis allow skiers to choose the perfect ski to manage the surface theyвЂ™re gliding across on a given day.

Some skiers in this discipline share HertrichвЂ™s drive вЂ”and others just like the freedom and options the sport gives them.While such telemark skiers are becoming a rare breed, those who practice it are a voracious community who are currently pushing to bring telemarking into the 2022 Olympic Games , which could restore its popularity. Telemark bindings have a free-heel boot, which is useful for lunging and carving.One notable record in the sport is that of Rainer Hertrich, a snowcat operator who telemarked every single day for eight years, logging 100 million vertical feet. ItвЂ™s mainly seen in downhill skiing in-bounds, though one uses a similar technique and bindings for backcountry and freeskiing. Tomas Marek // Shutterstock Show More Show LessTelemark is an old-school kind of skiing thatвЂ™s becoming a bit of a lost art. Downhill bindings are also different from those used in.

The risk of backcountry skiing is heightened for those who are not trained in avalanche safety. This type of skiing attracts adventurers as well as those who love the calm of the wilderness.WhatвЂ™s most important to bring with you on backcountry excursions is knowledge, certification, and respect for the dangers of out-of-bounds skiing. Those with bigger budgets and less desire for an uphill workout can also get to virgin snow via snowcat or helicopter.

Mountain climbing and building endurance to high altitudes are helpful for making the most of mountaineering. Like any enterprise that takes skiers to isolated or rough terrains, itвЂ™s smart to go with friends or form small groups that retain the independence of ski mountaineering adventures while providing safety in numbers. Knowledgeable ski guides can help those getting into mountaineering with introductions to difficult terrains and best practices for enjoying this more extreme form of skiing safely. Flystock // Shutterstock Show More Show Less 8 of17One step beyond backcountry skiing is mountaineering, which may involve traversing the mountain by foot at times while carrying your skis, as well as additional gear, including crampons, rope, and an ice axe.This sport attracts the adventurous and those who possessвЂ”or want to developвЂ”multiple skillsets for exploring the mountain.

Terrain parks built specifically for the sport include jumps, boxes, and rails.Wayne Wong is one of the godfathers of the sport, and todayвЂ™s freeskiers are chasing some of the same thrills. In addition to defined downhill runs, freestyle skiers look for resort-built and naturally occurring features. Even non-skiers love to see the feats of athletes in the films created by industry icons including Warren Miller and Teton Gravity Research.Freestyle skiing, aka freeskiing, started as a reaction against the more-regimented discipline of ski racing and evolved over the years due to new options in terrain and gear.

Paralympic skiing competitions include athletes with physical disabilities like amputation, blindness/visual impairment, spinal cord injury/wheelchair-users, and cerebral palsy/brain injury/stroke. Finances donвЂ™t have to be a show-stopper either, as there are organizations like Washington stateвЂ™s Outdoors for All that rent or share sit-skis and other adaptive gear, as well as training and the chance to be part of a community, including racing.Top adaptive skiers participate in the Paralympics, which encompass the alpine and Nordic skiing disciplines. Technology thatвЂ™s been tweaked to help with mobility challenges, and/or partners for those without sight, allow almost anyone whoвЂ™s seeking the joy of gliding on snow to do so. Matej Kastelic // Shutterstock Show More Show Less 11 of17Disability isnвЂ™t a word in the world of adaptive skiing.

Grass skiing is even recognized by the International Ski Federation (FIS), the international governing body for the sport that usually involves snow. Maxim Khytra // Shutterstock Show More Show Less 14 of17Diehard skiers turn to green terrain to train off-season. Extreme skiing is incredibly dangerous and should never be done alone or without meaningful experience in the side and backcountry in more controlled environments. These skiers are the best extreme freeskiers in the world, and will often go on expeditions to remote locations to chase the thrill, like to Washington's Cascade Mountains or to Seward, Alaska, as sponsored by Teton Gravity Research in their latest film вЂњStoke the Fire.вЂќTGR skiers do Alaskan heli-skiing with trips and jumps but not in a controlled environment.Other than big-mountain skis, the major requirement for this sport is top-level athleticism and a never-ending need for adrenaline rushesвЂ”and of course, the same rigorous training around avalanche preparedness and the tools of beacon, a probe, and a shovel. In-park terrain skiers require a different skill set to go to a terrain park on a mountain where skiers perform jumps and flips.
