Snow skiing is a winter sport that involves using skis to move over snow.
Winter sports require skis --- long, narrow, flat, curved strips of metal, wood, or plastic that are attached to shoes or boots and are used by skiers to glide over snow.
Skiing can be a fun recreational activity or a competitive sport. The two main types of skiing are downhill and cross-country.
The best time to go skiing is between December and April, which is the main 'ski season' in most resorts. (ANI)
