I recall many years ago reading a book about the history of skiing. The
British popularised winter holidays in Wengen and to stop them getting
bored, they popularised skiing as a recreational sport. Prior to that time,
only mountain dwellers skied and then only as a means of transport.

Any DHO members going to comment?

All,

It seems odd to think of a time when people didn't ski in Switzerland.


You mean tourists or locals?
