Kalvträskskidan
Kalvträskskidan is among the oldest skis ever found. It was found in the autumn of 1924, as a group of men digging a ditch through a mire near the village of Kalvträsk near Skellefteå encountered some wooden objects at a depth of 1.5 metres. They carefully extracted the objects that turned out to be two skis measuring 204 cm by 15.5 cm and a shovel shaped ski pole measuring 156 cm. The objects were kept in a shed that winter before being turned in to a museum the following summer. By that time one of the skis had started to wither and fall apart, so that only a few fragments of it remain. Thankfully the other ski is still more or less intact.
