Skiing in Norway goes back almost 4,000 years, with prehistoric hunters using them to cross the countryside following deer and elk. It wasn’t until the 1800s, however, that ski design became more refined and transitioned from transportation to sport and recreation. The first public skiing competition was held in Tromsø, Norway on March 19, 1843. Though centuries have passed since their initial, practical use, skis remain incredibly popular in Norway, with several trails and runs throughout the country.
