SKIING

plain and simple



When it all started...

In 1850, Morgedal,Telemark,Sondre Norheim discovers the perfect heel strap, cleverly entwined shoots of the birch tree root, with enough stiffness to provide sufficient control of the ski to steer it and enough elasticity to stay snugly around the heel to keep the toe in the toestrap even going off a jump, making possible both modern downhill and ski-jumping.This little find of a prefect heel strap sparks a revolution and makes the people of morgedal start to ski (not alot).but not only was skiing popular once it was made but even farther back like maybe 1,000 or more years!
