FOOTNOTES:1Skiis really the same word as the Englishskid, meaning a slide, or something to slide upon, the affinity being even greater in the Swedish termskid(plural,skidor), meaning slides or skates. Originally it doubtless springs from the Finnishsubsiorsuksi, by which appellation the ski were probably known long before their introduction to Scandinavia.2“W.T.,”T.P.’s Weekly, p. 226, Feb., 1904.3Scandinavianskrïde= to slide, glide, slip.4The names of the best known of these Telemarkings were, Knut Olafsen Haugen, Aasmund Brække, Sveinung Svalastoga, and the “Hemmestvedt gutter” (Torjus and Mikkel Hemmestvedt).—Ed.5Probably also on most of our own mountains.6To judge by the number of utterly foolish bindings on the market, this is a point which usually escapes the inventor-novice.7Look at the frontispiece for an example of first-class level-running.8In competitions the jump is measured from the point where the runner leaves the ground to the middle of the deepest part of the impression which his ski make on alighting.9The ski which are suitable for ordinary excursions on undulating ground are not necessarily equally useful for long mountain climbs. In the one case ski-running pure and simple is the object in view, in the other the ski are merely a means to an end—the ascent of some difficult summit or pass. Some remarks as to the kind of instrument which may be found serviceable for the latter purpose are to be found at p. 34, and in the chapter on “Aids to Climbing.”—Ed.10This, perhaps, scarcely goes far enough. The outfit suitable for undulating wooded ground on which a runner may attain to great skill is not equally serviceable high up. In particular, a cap covering most of the face and neck, smoked glasses or the simple arrangement described on p. 50, a light wind-jacket of some sort, extra-thick gloves, extra-thick socks, and extra-stout nailed boots are essential. The runner should accustom himself to carrying a large heavy rucksack, which is a disagreeable, but, alas! an indispensable, companion on a long mountain tour.—Ed.11The exact figures are not as yet settled, and are given—39·37043196 39·37079, 39·37008, &c.
