1. Pre-historic Nordic people invented skiing to assist hunting, military technique, and as a practical transportation for themselves and the Samis. The oldest and most accurately documented evidence of skiing origins is found in modern day Norway and Sweden. The earliest primitive carvings circa 5000 B.C. depict a skier with one pole, located in Rødøy, an island in the Nordland region of Norway. The first primitive ski was found in a peat bog in Hoting, Sweden which dates back to 2500 or 4500 B.C. Joel Berglund reported in 2004 the discovery of a primitive ski, or "85cm long piece of wood", carbon tested by researchers in 1997 while excavating a Norse settlement near Nanortalik, Greenland. The primitive ski dated back to 1010, and is thought to be Greenland's oldest ski brought by Norsemen circa 980 A.D.

2. It is centuries old, exact origins unknown. Widely attributed to ancient Norsemen who began gliding on long flat boards to cross vast snow covered distances more quickly. They called this mode of travel "shee" or "skee." Norseman who had to deal with downhill sections carried a stick -- the first ski pole -- which they dragged between their legs as a primitive brake.

Lift served downhill skiing evolved in Europe prior to World War I, and became popular in the USA in the 1930s. Cross country and downhill skiing did not become thought of as separate sports in this country until Hannes Schneider brought the Arlberg method to North Conway NH in the late 1930s.

3. Before it was a sport, skiing was an important means of transportation.

The exact origin of skiing is unclear, but there is evidence that Scandinavians were using skis to travel and hunt over snow-covered terrain as far back as 4,000 years ago.

Organized slalom races were first introduced in Europe during the 1920s and the first world championship was organized in 1931. Shortly thereafter, Americans caught on and interest in this country snowballed throughout the 1930s.

Alpine skiing made its Olympic debut at the 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Games with a men's and women's combined event, featuring a downhill and two slalom runs. Giant slalom first appeared at the 1952 Oslo Games and the super giant slalom, or super G, was added at the 1988 Calgary Games.

Lapland is not exactly a country, although e.g. the Sámi people in Finnish Lapland do have their own flag as well as own national day. Lapland is spread between Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, and each of the areas do have their own forms of Sámi language i.e. it is not easy to understand other Sámi languages although there are some words that are common in all of the Sámi languages. Also, Sámi languages are not readily taught in e.g. Finnish schools, so a mainstream Finn such as myself do not understand any of the Sámi languages readily.

Many work for manufacturers. These manufactioners commonly make electronics and other things. There are some who work in agriculture and on farms. Still others work many of the same types of jobs where you live--construction workers, police, firefighters, etc. Some work in office buildings and things as well :)

Lenin fled to Finland in July 1917 when some Bolsheviks attempted a premature coup against the Provisional Government. At that time the PG still had the support of the people and the military so the coup was unsuccessful. Lenin was a wanted man and fled to Finland where he shaved off his goattee so that he wouldn't be recognized.

There is nothing else like it. The wind in your face. The extreme speeds you can only get from skiing. The air and acrobatics you can do off a jump. Nothing but you, a piece of plastic, and the ice (or powder, whatever you prefer to ski on). "Nothing else compares"-Jake Zamansky (US Olympic Skier)

Finland has a couple of snakes, only one of them venomous.
