Man is a travelling animal, and on these icy slopes skiing began as a means of survival. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat it has developed into the leisure and sporting pursuit of choice by so much of the globe bears testament to its elemental appeal. In polar exploration, it has changed the course of history. Elsewhere, in war and peace, it has done so too.
