 | | Ski troops played a key role in retaining Finnish independence from Russia during the Winter War, and from Germany during the Lapland War, although the use of ski troops was recorded by the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus in the 13th century. |
 | | Many different types of skiing are popular, especially in colder climes, and many types of competitive skiing events are recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Ski Federation (FIS), and other sporting organizations. |
 | | Ski routes are referred to as 'runs,' 'trails,' or 'slopes.' Skiing technique is very difficult to master, and accordingly there are ski schools that teach everything from the basics of turning and stopping safely to more advanced carving and mogul techniques. |
