Shortly after 1900 Skiers started to discover the possibilities in the region and in 1912 plans were made to build a little ski hut on one of the high alpine meadows surrounding the village, the " Kölnerhaus " up at the " Komperdell ".

There is no distinction made in Scotland between assault and battery ( which is not a term used in Scots law ), although, as in England and Wales, assault can be occasioned without a physical attack on another's person, as demonstrated in Atkinson v.

The Nordic ski technology was adapted during the early twentieth century to enable skiers to turn at higher speeds.

The technique was first introduced by ski makers in Telemark, Norway, and remained largely unchanged through the 20th century.

When the ski was torqued, the position of the aluminum sheets above and below the axis of rotation required them to slide sideways relative to the core, something that was resisted by the glue along the entire surface of the sheet.

The result was a torsion box, which made the ski much stronger.

The VR7, and its more famous follow-on VR17, was the first fibreglass ski that could be used for mens racing, and quickly took over that market.

The first production ski to feature reverse camber was the Volant Spatula which premiered in the 2002 – 2003 season.

A monument in their memory has been erected near the top of the Loge Peak lift above the ski runs named in their honor ( Kessler's Bowl, Snyder's Ridge, and Soddbuster ).

From 1980 to the present, ski-lifts have been modernized and snow-making machines installed at many resorts, leading to concerns regarding the loss of traditional Alpine culture and questions regarding sustainable development as the winter ski industry continues to develop quickly and the number of summer tourists decline.

Outside major cities and ski resorts, tourist season typically begins Victoria Day continuing to Labour Day or Thanksgiving ; motels would be largely vacant ( operating at slightly reduced prices or occasionally closed ) for the winter, while campgrounds would be effectively unusable outside the high season.

With some of the largest ski mountains on the East Coast, New Hampshire's major recreational attractions include skiing, snowmobiling and other winter sports, hiking and mountaineering, observing the fall foliage, summer cottages along many lakes and the seacoast, motor sports at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Motorcycle Week, a popular motorcycle rally held in Weirs Beach near Laconia in June.

Alpine skis are wider at the tip and tail than they are at the waist ; when rotated onto their edge, known as " edging ", this causes the ski to bend into a curved shape and allows them to " carve " a turn.

In 1991, designers at Elan produced a very exaggerated version of this race ski, and in 1993 introduced a recreational version described by the company as offering a " parabolic " turn shape.

For a racing slalom ski, this can be as low as 12 metres and for Super-G they are normally at 33 metres.

When the ski is set at an angle the edge cuts into the snow, the ski will follow the arc and hence turn the skier ; a practice known as carving a turn.

The popularity explosion of twin-tip skis created a push for the inclusion of more terrain park elements at ski areas.

For climbing steep slopes, skins ( originally made of seal fur, but now made of synthetic materials ) can be attached at the base of the ski.

The Telemark ski is a downhill or touring ski, where the binding attaches only at the toe.

The fact that the foot is only attached to the ski at the toes means that flexible ski boots are worn.
