SNOW SPORTS
Winter sports or winter activities are competitive 
sports or non-competitive recreational activities 
which are played on snow or ice.[1] Most are 
variations of skiing, ice skating and sledding. 
Traditionally, such games were only played in cold 
areas during winter, but artificial snow and artificial 
ice allow more flexibility. Artificial ice can be used to 
provide ice rinks for ice skating, ice hockey, and bandy 
in a milder climate.
HISTORY
Snow and ice during the winter time has led to other means of 
transportation, such as sledges, skis and skates. This also led to 
different pastimes and sports being developed in the winter season 
as compared to other times of the year. Naturally, winter sports are 
more popular in countries with longer winter seasons.
While most winter sports are played outside, ice hockey, speed 
skating and to some extent bandy have moved indoors starting in 
the mid-20th century. Indoor ice rinks with artificial ice allow ice 
skating and hockey to be played in hot climates.
Outdoor winter sports will likely be severely impacted because of 
climate change in the next century.
