While I don't know definitively, I could make an educated guess so that you have a working answer.

The most likely reason is the advancement of technology and what said technology is made out of. For example, the skis and ski poles are probably made of alloys that were not available in 1874.

Also, new skiing techniques have probably also been "discovered" as time has past and daredevils do increasingly difficult courses/challenges in order to prove their awesome-ness.
