The first ski seats were made of curved boards from unused barrels to which were attached two pillars connected with a board which served as the seat. Later, ski seat got a more modern image, as they were adapted to higher speeds, and used old skis. [1] In 2011 a championship "4 cross" was organized in Maribor with 124 competitors. [2]
The word "ski" comes from the Old Norse word "skíð" which means to "split piece of wood or firewood". [6] Asymmetrical skis were used in northern Finland and Sweden until at least the late 19th century. On one foot, the skier wore a long straight non-arching ski for sliding, and a shorter ski was worn on the other foot for kicking.
They are sometimes seen as decorations, mounted on walls or on mantels in ski lodges. Even though many enthusiasts prefer aluminum snowshoes, there is still a large group of snowshoe enthusiasts who prefer wooden snowshoes. Wooden frames do not freeze as readily. Many enthusiasts also prefer wood snowshoes because they are very quiet.
The mono-ski uses the same skis used for non-disabled alpine skiing, adapted so that the skier sits on a chair attached to the ski via a spring. The mono-ski was first used at the 1988 Winter Paralympics. [33] A monoski, also known as a sit-ski, consists of a molded seat mounted on a metal frame.
