The first hints to the existence of skis are on 4500-5000 years old rock drawings , e.g. at Rødoy in Norway (discovered 1933) or at Steinkjer (discovered 2001), which depict a man on skis holding a stick. The oldest known ski, Kalvträsksidan was found in 1924 in a mire near the village of Kalvträsk in the municipality of Skellefteå, Sweden, and has been carbon dated to roughly 3200 B.C.
