Skiing has changed a lot over years. The skis that were used a long time a go were plain with no design. Today skis are fancy, have nice designs on them and have lengths on them. Another thing that has changed is that more people wear helmets. They wear nice clothes and the ski hills are bigger.

clothing wise, skiing equipment in general has largely developed throughout time. Skiing began approximately 4-5 thousand years ago in Norway. The nordsmen used it as a method of transport because it was easier to hunt on skis than by walking. It is likely that they would have worn simple clothes such as woolly jumpers, a hat, trousers and boots. Today however there is a variety of different clothing around there. We are used to water and windproof clothing that efficiently make skiing a much more enjoyable sport. When skiing began, one single pole was used and two skis usually constructed from local pine trees were used. This mean that they were not the easiest things in the world to control and required a huge amount of skill. Today, skis have largely improved. Many still have wood cores, my skis even have a bamboo core, but the edges are now constructed in a way that provides more stability and control at high speeds. hope this helps

The first skis created were made of wood, and they didn't use any kind of wax. And, for some reason, they only used one pole. Now the skis are made out of fiberglass, and they have become shorter than before. And the poles are usually made out of aluminium.
