Skiing

Skiing is a type of recreational sport or activity that utilizes skis (long, flat piece of equipment for the foot designed to glide) for traveling over the snow. The ski is connected to a boot with a specific binder so that skiers can hook their boots directly into the skis. Vertical poles are also used to maintain stability and balance.

About Skiing

Skiing originated from two separate cultures. Nordic skiing is the oldest in origin and it involves cross country, ski jumping and Telemark. Nordic skiing also uses a binder that attaches to the boot, but not at the heel.

On the other hand, Alpine skiing, sometimes referred to as downhill skiing, originated later on in the European Alps. This type of skiing utilizes a binder on the heel and the toe of the ski boot.
