Skiing originally started as people using some pieces of wood as 'snow shoes' to move around on snow. Eventually somebody realized, that longer the 'shoe'/'ski' was, better it would carry you on snow. The oldest skis found to date are about 3000 year old, so they have been around for a while.

At some point, the shoe evolved into a ski, so that you could ski down hills and glide on snow easier. The scandinavians used these skis for moving around, but also for hunting.
