Summary

Skiing has long been a favorite wintertime sport, performed both recreationally and as a means of transportation. The second Winter Olympic Games in 1932, held in Lake Placid, New York, were the first to introduce skiing as a competition, where events were held in both ski jumping and cross-country skiing. With the rise of mechanized chairlifts, skiing has only grown in popularity. The Historical Dictionary of Skiing, part of Scarecrow Press'¬"s new Historical Dictionaries of Sports series, relates the history of the sport through a comprehensive alphabetical dictionary with detailed, cross-referenced entries on key figures, places, competitions, and governing bodies within the sport. Author John Allen introduces the reader to the history of skiing in the introduction, and detailed appendixes and an extensive bibliography follow the dictionary entries. This book is an excellent starting point for researchers, general readers, and anyone interested in the history of skiing.
