In winter, many people enjoy snow sports, such as
skiing and snowboard, in Niigata prefecture. People of other prefecture also visits
snow resorts of Niigata prefecture to enjoy snow sports, so snow resorts are
very crowded in holiday. Niigata Prefecture is the birthplace of skiing. In
1911, Edora Theodor von Lerch, who was an
Austrian Army Major, taught the techniques of skiing to people of the army of
Japan in Joetsu city of Niigata prefecture. It is said that this is skiing
originated in Japan. The technique of skiing at that time was a technique that
uses one ski pole. The technique that uses one ski pole was replaced by a
technique that uses two ski poles because players who were using two ski poles won
an overwhelming victory to players who were using one ski pole in First All
Japan Ski Championships in 1923. Not only ski pole but also ski has changed. Technology
of skiing has changed significantly with the appearing of the ski called the
carving ski. It is short and has a steep side curve compared to conventional
skis. It is easy to turn, and there is no need to shift the skis at the time of
the turn as conventional skis. Thank to this, turn speed is significantly
faster. Snowboarding is also popular among, especially, young people. Recently most
of the young people have been snowboarding, but I want young people to know fun
of skiing.

There is a football team named Albirex Niigata in
Niigata prefecture, and the team has been active in J. League Division 1 of
Japan. The predecessor of Albirex Niigata was a soccer team named Niigata eleven
soccer club born in 1955. In 1996, it was renamed to Albirex Niigata. It was
promoted to the Japan Football League in 1998 and entered J. League Division 2
in 1999. In 2003, it won the J. League Division 2 and was promoted to the J.
League Division 1. There is also a team of other sports in Albirex, such as basketball
team, baseball team, and so on. Many people are supporting these teams.
In this way, various sports as well as snow sports
are popular in Niigata prefecture. I want many people to visit Niigata
prefecture and enjoy snow sports in winter.
