The fifties

A further milestone in Liechtenstein’s ski sport development was reached on 2 February 1950 with the opening of the first ski lift in Steg.

The ski clubs extended their activities, e.g. by organising the 1st Corporate Championships (1951) and staging the first night slalom (1954).

Liechtenstein’s skiers achieved increasing success in foreign competitions. However, due to financial constraints no team was sent to the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo. In 1956, though, a team was sent to the Olympiad in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
