Skiing is a recreational activity
and a healthy sport that involves travelling on the top of snow with the help
of skies. A ski is a narrow strip of wood or any hard material which is worn
underfoot to glide over snow, sand or water. They were originally invented to
travel over the snow when it is very difficult to walk on it. It was invented
and used hundreds of years ago in Norway where snow made it difficult to travel
in that area.
People used wood strips and tied
them under their shoes to walk to the snow. It was then made a sport and skies
started to get common among sportsmen. Snowvasion
represents skies in various designs and types. Now people use them for various
purposes. Other than the sport, this is one of the favorite recreational
activities that people love. People from all over the world specially visit the
snowy areas where they can enjoy skiing. Ski Trips are organized in different
snowy areas in a specific season where different people enjoy skiing in the
presence of special trainers.
Some people get special trainings
and become expert in this. They choose skiing as their profession and earn
this. They either become stunt men in skiing or acquire the profession of
teaching the skills of skiing in various ski trips, sports clubs, schools and
summer camps. Other than binding to the feet, skies are also attached to the
vehicles that travel on the snow like snow carts. Snow cart is the major
attraction while you are out on your Ski trip. That also works on the same
principle of attaching metallic, wooden or plastic strips at their bottom.
The first recreational ski club
was formed in Australia where first international downhill carnival was also
held. This carnival displayed a number of people skiing on the rough patterns
made out of snow. It also included moving up and down the snowy hill. This
encouraged many sportsmen who practiced and learned skiing techniques for a
long time. This laid the foundation of the international skiing competitions
and races where skiers form all the parts of world come and compete with each
and other to prove them best at travelling on snow. Every year various
competitions are organized at various levels and heavy prize money is awarded
to the winners by snowvasion. People
perform certain dangerous tasks as well which can lead to serious injuries even
death if they are not trained enough. Later on, skiing became popular in ski
trips and many other activities.
