[edit] History of ski or skiing
Are the latest edits here better suited under skiing rather than "ski"? - See revision WinterOfDiscontent 09:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think they should be moved to skiing, since they are more about the sport than the equipment. This article should be "a technical article" about different ski types. But I also think this article should have a history of skiis.Labongo 19:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Backcountry & Alpine Separated?
Is the difference between the backcountry ski and the alpine touring ski pronouced enough to justify two separate categories? The two seem to be functionally identical. The descriptions only suggest differences in the manufacturers or the part of the world they are used in. I suggest combining the two.
Much may better be moved to ski or skiing. Patrick 13:01 Jan 6, 2003 (UTC)
Exactly! The austrian alpine history can also be placed under alpine skiing.
This article needs to be synchronised and heavily cross-linked with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiing page.
"Telemark" is a county in Norway, and the Telemark should cover that IMHO.
"Telemark" is also a downhill skiing event with traditions from Telemark, and should have an article, I would suggest "Telemark skiing"
"Telemark" is not a synonym for "ski" YES Renebach 12:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
What about water skiing ?
That should be added elsewere ! Renebach 12:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
We should have one top topic (top entry topic): skiing Renebach 12:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC) as it exists already ! The topic there should be improved:
- The olympic disciplines This should be documented in more detail on the skiing page downhill, super geant , geant, slalom. I can write something, but I'd like the author(s) of the skiing page to contact me - ski-cross (4 racers against each other) - jumping (twists and summersault (spell ') - dancing ?? making figures
2. snowboards
- general description (style, material, ...) - olympic desciplines: slalom, pipes, ... ??
...
5. water skiing
6. MISC. other definitions: ski for snow-mobiles
ski for the ski-bobs (sitting on a frame with two skis, one being connected to a handle-bar), mono-ski (two feets looking forward on one larger ski)

Since much of the material was historic, I moved it all to History of skiing, and also added a few minor articles on Sondre Norheim and Morgedal.
I've also made a page for the county [[Telemark] akin to other couties in Norway. The Telemark ski is now just that. Telemark skiing is the modern sport.
Wrt. the Telemark ski, I did not rewrite the description, but perhaps it should be rewritten to say that the Telemark ski has a "sway" or "swing" in the profile? I'm not sure what the common english term for this is. Because that is the crux.

The local slang for "Twin-slip skiing" is "freestyle skiing" or simply "freestyle". (By Local, I mean in Canada. I suspect the same slang is used across North America.) I haven't heard the term "twin-slip" until reading this page.. (which doesn't make it wrong, of course.) -g 01:22:14 Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
