A person who moves down snow-covered slopes or across snowy terrain on skis, using poles and technique to navigate and control their speed.
Where the word comes from
From ski, which comes from Old Norse "skíð," meaning a wooden stick or staff used for travel over snow. Norse settlers brought the word to Scandinavia, where skiing developed as a practical winter skill. The English word "ski" entered the language in the 1880s as winter sports gained popularity, and "skier"—one who skis—followed naturally as an agent noun formed by adding the suffix "-er."
