Etymology
The word 'skier' originates from the verb 'ski', which comes from the Old Norse word 'skรญรฐ', meaning 'a split piece of wood' or 'stick'. Skiing has been practiced for thousands of years, initially developed as a means of transportation in snowy regions. By the late 19th century, skiing evolved into a recreational sport, leading to the establishment of ski clubs and competitions. The term 'skier' emerged in the early 20th century as skiing gained popularity in Europe and North America. It represents not just the act of skiing, but also the culture and community surrounding the sport.
