SKI ORIGINS Skis were originally made out of, necessity but were soon to be used for plëasure. Life in the artic would have been near impossible were it flot for the creation of the ski, which looked more like today's, snowshoes than the skis as we know them. However, the 2,500-year-old Ovrebo ski from Southern Nor- - way bas a turned-up tip like our modemn day ski. Legend bas it that the Laplanders were the first skiers but technographic discoveries in Norway contradiet this dlaim. The first written accounts of skiing appear in the Saga, the classie literature of the Viking period. The Norwegian Vikings were reported to be excellent skiers and the Sagas describe several kings living around 1000 A.D. as superb skiers. Vikings even had a God and Goddess of skiing, Uli and Skade - objects of their winter worship. The ski, as a practicai tool, is ancient. Remnants of skis have been discovered in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia dating back 4,500 years. The Hotling Ski was found in a peat bog in Sweden and is today proof that skiing as a means of transportation existed in pre-civilized northern Europe. A stone age carving on the wall of a cave at Rodoy, near the Aretie Circle in Norway shows a man on skis estimated at 12 feet in length, headed downhili with a single balancing pole and bis knees bent slightly. The date was 2,000 B.C. Another drawing showing a naked Neanderthai entering a chair lift with a Pierre Cardin toque and 1 BROOKLIN HOME BA KERY' &DELICATESSAN 61 BALDWIN ST.
