Alpine ski racing as an organised sport

Alpine ski racing as an organised sport commenced in both America and Australia. The first recreational ski club was formed in 1861 at Kiandra, Australia,[18] where the first documented international downhill carnival was also held.[19]
Another milestone in those years is the ignition of winter tourism in St.Moritz, Graubünden in 1864;[20] although doubted that skiing was among their activities, the presence of people for simply leisure reasons in a wintery area was essential for the development of skiing for other than utility reasons.
In 1868, with a couple fellow skiers, Norheim attended the "second annual Centralforeningen (Central Ski Association) open ski competition whose object was to demonstrate skill at descending a particular slope in the city."[12] At the competition, Norheim demonstrated groundbreaking techniques that set the ideal benchmarks for skiing in Norway and the European Continent: the arc-like sweep of the "telemark turn" along with the skidded "stem" stop turn (commonly known as the "parallel" stop turn), which was initially known as the "Christiania" turn (original name for modern day Oslo).[12][21] The "Christiania" came to be known simply as the "Christi" turn with the formalization of ski rules in 1901.[12][22] Both turns, which originated in Telemark, mark the distinction between Telemark and Alpine skiing.[15]
