Have you ever been skiing?
1_Wizard
No I haven't. I'm way too scared. I know some people do it competitively, recreationally, or use it as a mean of transportation.

Good. Because I hate it! Snowboarding too! That's just like skiing, but with one BIG ski!
1_Wizard
It's a shame though. Since skiing has existed for almost five millennia!

Wow. That's crazy. I didn't know that!

The word ski comes from Old Norse which means a split piece of firewood or wood

Interesting. I'd rather bobsled.

What about about cross-country skiing? That's where people move across all the snow-covered terrain rather than just using ski lifts.

That sounds more fun than regular skiing.
