The origins of skiing trace back to over 8,000 years ago, when skis were used as a form of transportation and a way of survival to navigate the cold regions of the world.

With world class free skier Paddy Graham, we head up to Sweden to look at the fascinating history of skiing, including how the Norwegian army turned it into a competitive sport.
