|
As I researched the history of Skiing, I learned that many people had many different ideas about the history of skiing and how it came about.

Norsemen introduced skiing to the United States no doubt sowing the first seeds of this sort of freestyle as well as the adventurism of langrenn, or cross country. Gullik Knedsen and his brothers Ole and Ansten Nattestad from Nymedal emigrated to Illinois to start a flourishing tradition of skiing on the Rock Prairie of Beloit, near Chicago, in 1841.
