Skiing
is an activity where an individual uses skis to glide through snow. This could
be done as a leisure time activity, a mode of transportation. Skiing is a
recreational activity that requires snow and is obviously considered as a
winter sport. There are two international organizations that take up a variety
of skiing events and competitions, namely; The International Olympic Committee
(IOC) and the International Ski Federation (ISF). Modern skiing is said to have
been evolved from a Northern European region by the name, Scandinavia. A few
general types of skiing would be Alpine skiing, Nordic skiing and Tele mark
skiing. Skis, boots and bindings, poles, ski suits along with a helmet, ski
googles and ski gloves are the basic requirements for any individual wishing to
take part in the sport.
