Skiing

"Skiing" Encyclopedia Britannica from Encyclopedia Britannica Premium Service:
recreation, sport, and mode of transportation that involves moving over snow by the use of a pair of long, flat runners, called skis, attached to shoes or boots.

We suppose that you have some ideas of what Skiing is. The sport has grown so popular over the decades that most people must have a basic understanding of what Skiing is. For those that are totally unfamiliar with the concept, we will explain it here. Skiing is basically using gravity to move downhill by gliding over snow conditions using two long and thin boards to keep balance and control. Snowboarding is a similar snow sport which uses one wide board instead of the two thinner boards that skiers use. Skiers use both boards to coordinate their movements and control their speed and direction. Balance, weight, and edge control are the tricks of the trade in Skiing.

Skiing equipment such as Skis, Ski Boots, Helmet, Ski Bindings, and Ski Poles or a Snowboard (if you are going to snowboard) are needed for this sport.  However, when you go with us we’ll have the equipment for you.  Just bring a jacket and some goggles and you are all set.
