Para-ski originated as a sport in Switzerland in the early 1960s as a form of mountain rescue. The concept was to jump from an aircraft, parachute to an open area near the victim, strap on skis, and evacuate the casualty down the mountain. Today it is a competitive discipline in parachuting, with international meets and cups having been held since 1964 and World Championships since 1987.
