Is Norsemen American?

No. The Norsemen (Meaning North Men) were from Scandinavia. They were also known as the Vikings. The area at the time was not divided into many countries as it is today. It is believed by some that the Norsemen actually discovered the Americas before the Europeans, although the same theory suggests that they did not settle there, but only made sporadic forrays to capture slaves for sale in their homelands. This is not an improbable theory, as the Norsemen were extremely capable sailors and navigators. As nice a theory as it might be, however, there is no material evidence to support it, and all accounts are purely supposition. Ferrocious in battle, bearing heavy armour and wielding mighty weapons, the Norsemen would have been a terrible enemy to any AmerIndian tribe who might have encountered them.

What is the value of JC Higgins wooden snow skis that are made from Hickory?

It all depends on condition, and how visually appealling they are. Some JC Higgins skis were painted, and these don't seem to generate as much interest. Natural wood in good condition, with bindings in good condition, will sell for an average of $25 to $75. In the middle of ski season, when ski condo and chalet owners are visiting their ski homes and actively buying decor, prices go up. If you have an extremely rare or highly sought model, or perhaps a pair that belonged to a ski pioneer from years past, they might be worth hundreds of dollars -- but it is highly unlikely any mass-marketed JC Higgins skis fall into this category. Suggest you look at Ebay to see what people are selling, and what the market will actually pay. http://www.skiernet.com

How does wax help skiing faster?

Where should the ski binding be on the ski?

Where the binding is mounted is all about personal preference.

If you ski terrain park, a center mount could be more your style, where as if you ski all mountain, you may wish to mount farther back. Many skis come with a "recommended" line. You may wish to go from there. If you have further questions, any tech at your local ski shop should be able to answer all of your questions, and mount the bindings for you!
