    Skiing was a thing in the Wild West. Snowshoe Thompson, a native of Tinn in Telemark, Norway, introduced skiing to California during the now legendary Gold Rush in the 1850s as he delivered mail and supplies to the gold and silver miners in the Sierra Nevada's as a mailman for Uncle Sam. His skills and ability on a pair of skis became legendary in the Sierras, and Snowshoe became an institution of the era being the only thing connecting the miners from the outside world during wintertime. The Sierra Nevada's and Lake Tahoe in specific are now a world renounced ski area, and it all started with an immigrant from Norway: Snowshoe Thompson.
