Alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics originated in the European Alps and is therefore also known as "Alpine Skiing". As early as the middle of the 19th century, primitive alpine skiing competitions appeared in the southern region of Northern Nordic Norway. However, because the world's first alpine skiing organization, the Alpine Ski Club, was founded in 1907, it is customary to think of this year as the beginning of alpine skiing.
