==FIS Congress history==
===Founding and the first years===
After ski club federations and national associations were created in Norway (1883 and 1908), Russia (1896), Bohemia and Great Britain (1903), Switzerland (1904), United States, Austria and Germany (all in 1905) and Sweden, Finland and Italy (all in 1908), and competitions had begun such as the Nordic Games,<ref>Edgeworth, Ron (1994) [http://isoh.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/187.pdf “The Nordic Games and the Origins of the Olympic Winter Games”] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210818233521/http://isoh.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/187.pdf |date=18 August 2021 }} ''Citius, Altius, Fortius''</ref> early international cross-country races (Adelboden, 1903), international participation at Holmenkollen (1903)<ref>Vaage, Jakob (1968) [https://books.google.com/books?id=xj4QAQAAIAAJ&q=foreigners ''The Holmenkollen Ski Jumping Hill and the Ski Museum''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230416141109/https://books.google.com/books?id=xj4QAQAAIAAJ&q=foreigners |date=16 April 2023 }} Oslo: Tanum OCLC 492547534 Page 19</ref> and Club Alpin Français (CAF) International Winter Sports Weeks, an international Ski Congress was convened to develop standard rules for international competitive skiing.
The founding of a predecessor association, the International Ski Commission (CIS), was decided on February 18, 1910, in Christiania, Norway by delegates from ten countries to the first International Ski Congress.<ref>[https://fisc-web-prod.corebine.com/en/inside-fis/about-fis/meetings/fis-congress-history/1910-christiania-nor FIS Congress History] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220804172054/https://fisc-web-prod.corebine.com/en/inside-fis/about-fis/meetings/fis-congress-history/1910-christiania-nor |date=4 August 2022 }} at FIS</ref> This Congress then met every year or so to hear from the CIS and refine and adopt rule changes. The commission was to consist of two members - a representative of Scandinavia and Central Europe. Ultimately, two Scandinavians sat on the commission. A year later, in March 1911, the first internationally valid set of rules was approved. At that time, the commission was enlarged to five members, and Oslo was elected as headquarters.
In 1913, the number of members of the commission was increased to seven: two Norwegians, two Swedes, a Swiss, a German and an Austrian.
On February 2, 1924, in Chamonix as part of the "International Winter Sports Week", which was later to be recognized as the first Olympic Winter Games, 36 delegates from 14 countries (Great Britain, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Yugoslavia, Norway, Poland, Romania, US, Switzerland, Sweden, Hungary and Italy) decided to found the FIS, which replaced the CIS.
Initially, the FIS was only responsible for Nordic skiing. FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1925 in Janské Lázně, Czechoslovakia, were given status as the first official World Championships. After the Scandinavian countries had relented, it was decided at the 11th FIS Congress (February 24–26, 1930 in Oslo) to also include alpine skiing (downhill, slalom and alpine combined) in the rules. This was upon a proposal by Great Britain, in which the British ski pioneer Arnold Lunn played a major role as co-founder of the Arlberg-Kandahar races. The simple sentence "Downhill and slalom races may be organized" was written into the rules - a sentence that was to change skiing in the long term.<ref>[https://digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll1/id/32106/rec/34 Ski-ing and Olympism] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220803021155/https://digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll1/id/32106/rec/34 |date=3 August 2022 }} Olympic Review</ref> The first FIS Alpine World Ski Championships were held 19–23 February 1931 in Mürren, Switzerland.
Ski flying, a variation of ski jumping, was recognized as a discipline in 1938, but rules were not finalized until after World War II.
