A book about skis. Pavlikova M.

Skiing is a familiar attribute of a winter vacation. But they were invented not at all for entertainment. The invention of skis was a matter of survival in the northern lands, because without them you can’t catch up with prey and you will not feed your family. Later, skiing began to ride for pleasure. And then new types of skis appeared, very different: running, mountain, water and even jumping.

Why did the skis call skiing? Who invented them and when? What are the ski sports? Readers will find answers to these and many other questions on the pages of this book.
