		Alpine skis are made from wood or synthetic materials and are attached to specially designed ski boots; the hard resistant surface of the skis, maintained by application of special ski waxes, produces high speeds in moving over packed snow.
		Ski width also varies, from 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) in the front, tapering slightly inward in the middle and widening at the rear; the front tip of the ski curves upwards.
		Skiers carry ski poles, commonly 1.2 to 1.5 m (4 to 5 ft) in length, which are used for balance and to facilitate movement; they are made of light metal tubing, with handgrips and straps and a small disc at the bottom that allows a firm hold in the snow.

		Skiing as a form of recreation is much more recent in origin, although there is some evidence that it may have existed as early as the first half of the 18th century.
		Norwegian emigration was partly responsible for the spread of Nordic skiing to the rest of the world.
		As skiing spread to mainland Europe, it soon became apparent that the techniques used by the Scandinavians were unsuitable for mountainous terrain, especially in the Alps of south central Europe.

	Alpine skiing
		Alpine skiing (or downhill skiing) is a recreational activity and sport involving sliding down snow-covered hills with long, thin skis attached to each foot.
		Alpine skiing evolved from cross-country skiing when ski lift infrastructure was developed at mountain resorts to tow skiiers back to the top of slopes, thus making it possible to repeatedly enjoy skiing down steep, long slopes that would be otherwise too tiring to climb up.
		Professional alpine skiers compete on the World Cup circuit in Slalom, Giant Slalom[?], and Downhill races held at various sites in Europe, the United States, and Canada.

		In competitive Alpine skiing, the racers are required to follow a course marked by a series of gates that are made of two tall poles set at varying distances apart, depending on which of the three Alpine events is involved.
		In ski jumping there are three competitions, all for men only: the 90 m (98.4 yd) normal hill, with an average jump distance of over 70 m (76.6 yd); and the 120 m (131.3 yd) large hill, with an average distance of over 90 m; and a team competition on the large hill.
