The first ski ever found was discovered in Greenland in 2004. The ski was almost a thousand years old. The two main types of skiing are alpine and Nordic. This blog will focus on alpine skiing. Alpine skiing is something that I've been doing for my whole life. I've learned so much through skiing and I'd like to share some things about skiing with you.

There are many different types of alpine skiing. There is ski racing, freestyle skiing, and back country skiing. While ski racing is all about making it through a course in the fastest time possible, freestyle skiing is all about trying to do the coolest tricks in the air. Back country skiing is really about having fun. It involves rigorous hikes to ski some terrain this is very different than what you would see on a resort. Do you ski? If so, where have you skied and which mountain is your favorite?
