From its origins in China and Scandinavia, skiing has come a long way, attracting not only daring athletes, tourists, and local winter holidaymakers, but also the rich, the famous, and international royal families. On the technical side, innovative pioneers have continually developed new top-tier equipment that, over the years, has helped transform skiing from a leisure pursuit into an intensely competitive spectator sport. And the appealing, electrifying stars of the ski world, along with the elite ski resorts, have succeeded in defining a global culture and an aspirational lifestyle that has become as popular as it is distinctive.
