General Cross-Country Information W atch our woods fill up with snow. Here in Montana, cross-country skiing isn't like a quick trip around your back yard. (Unless you have a very big back yard.) We have hundreds of trails in two national parks, nine national forests, 12 wilderness areas as well as numerous lodges and resorts with private trail systems, there's plenty of room for everyone. Some of America's premier cross-country resorts are in Montana, offering you guided wilderness and wildlife tours, perfectly groomed trails and expert instruction. Ski or skate on groomed tracks, or choose from hundreds of miles of ungroomed trails on public lands. Take a guided wildlife tour or rent a remote forest service cabin and ski into it with your bed and board on your back. Montana's privately owned cross-country ski resorts celebrate winter providing comfortable accommodations that range from snug cabins to full-service lodges. Many people don't think of going to Glacier National Park or Yellowstone National Park in the winter. That in itself is a good reason for you to go; you may have acres of white backcountry all to yourself. THE PARKS IN WINTER F or an unrivaled winter experience, visit Yellowstone or Glacier National Parks. These rugged and pristine lands offer spectacular scenery, wildlife viewing and endless opportunities for winter adventure.

Colorado Ski Museum Ski Hall of Fame GENERAL SKIING HISTORY Send Us an E-Mail Events Make a Donation, Pledge Sign Up for a Membership or Event ... The Museum's Electronic Newsletter HOW SKIING STARTED The history of skiing goes back several thousand years to post-glacial stone-age people who lived in the northern latitudes of Europe and Russia. Skis made it possible for them to survive the harsh winters by hunting game. The Rodoy rock carvings above the arctic circle in Norway are at least 4500 years old and depict a man on long runners with a hunting implement in hand. Ski artifacts of all sizes have been dug out of peat bogs in the Scandinavian countries indicating wide use of the over-snow runners. The first written account of skiing appears circa 1000 A.D. in the Viking "Sagas" where several kings are described as being superb skiers. In 1206, during the Norwegian civil war, two scouts on skis carried the infant heir to the throne 35 miles to safety in the middle of winter. The historic event is celebrated today by the "Birchleg Race" over the same route so called because the scouts wrapped their legs in birch bark to keep them warm and dry. Another traditional ski race takes place every year in Sweden. The Vasaloppet Cross Country race (53 miles) honors Gustav Vasa's ski trip in 1523 when he raised an army and beat the Danes who were then in control of the country.
