"I would like to commend you for having organised the
first Alpine ski races in the history of our sport.
One and a half centuries later, Alpine Skiing is one of
the most popular and prestigious disciplines within FIS,
and the duel of man against man can be found at the
highest levels of Alpine and Freestyle Skiing as well
as in Snowboarding."
Sincerely yours,
INTERNATIONAL SKI FEDERATION
(Signed)
Gian Franco Kasper, President.

"In 1961, very successful and colourful centenary celebrations
were conducted but clouded by doubt and scepticism by much of
the population. This year's anniversary is free of any previous
negativity.
2006 saw the Holmenkollen Ski Museum of Norway confirming that in
1861 the world's first ski clubs were formed in both Norway and Australia.
In 2011 FIS joins the congratulations for this important Australian
anniversary, together for Kiandra's inaugural position
in alpine skiing in the world."
