Invention
There are six possible roots from which skis might have developed:[citation needed]
The pedal snowshoe, which was an oval wooden board later on covered with fur.
The sledge runner, which seems to be a very obvious model for the ski.
The fur shoe, which was a combination of moccasins and sandals and worn together with pedal snowshoes.
The marsh shoe, later was taken to colder regions.
The canoe or the coracle, both used in northern regions from very early on. Having been used as sledges, small ones might have served as proto-skis.
Spontaneous invention.

Look up Ullr - the Norse God Of (drum roll) Skiing.
They have carvings dating back thousands of years of the dude wearing skis!

There's good argument that the Chinese may have done so before the old Norse. It's up for debate but petroglyphs have been found in China showing skiers possibly as long ago as 4000 years as well.
