	Skiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For many people, "skiing" refers to recreational downhill skiing where one visits a ski resort, purchases a lift ticket, dons cold-weather clothing, skis, ski boots and ski poles, and embarks on a chairlift, gondola lift, or other means of mechanical uphill transport.
		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.
		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.
