Moved down a snow-covered slope on skis for sport or transportation.
From Norwegian 'ski' (a wooden runner for snow), adopted into English in the 1800s as winter sports became popular; 'skied' is the simple past tense.
Skis were originally a Scandinavian survival tool for hunting in winter, but they became so associated with speed and freedom that skiing transformed from necessity to one of the most thrilling winter sports in the world.
