Tag: Skis

We've come a long way in 7,000 years -- the approximate amount of time since an ancient human tribe carved images of someone using two primitive skis (and one pole) on a cave wall in Europe [source: Dawson].
The oldest surviving ski dates from 2500 B.C. It was found near Hoting, Sweden, in a peat bog, the sort of environment known for preserving ancient artifacts.
