#1 Skiing wasn't a hobby as well. Travelling on the surface of feet deep snow was important when tracing and hunting animals. The snow doesn't carry animal and so it becames slower, but the hunter becames faster. The skiing stick was also a long spear-type weapon capable to kill an elk or a bear. Low-energy veggie food wasn't popular in those days.
