Bonus Episode: How the Sport Started

from Ski Racing this Week Hosted by Ski Racing Media

We’ve got a double-header for you! On this bonus episode we are joined by John Allen, a historian at the New England Ski Museum, and we talk about the very beginnings of ski racing. From the first skiing cultures, to the first competitions, and finally to the formation of Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) and something resembling the sport today. It’s an essential, fascinating story. Follow-up info: http://newenglandskimuseum.org/ (Questions, suggestions, and grievances to [email protected] or @jimmy_who_ on Instagram)
