Skiing

Skiing is a recreational and competitive winter sport that involves gliding down snow-covered slopes on skis, which are long, narrow devices attached to the feet. Skiing can be categorized into several types, including alpine skiing, which takes place on downhill slopes; cross-country skiing, which involves traversing flat or rolling terrains; and freestyle skiing, which includes tricks and jumps in terrain parks. Skiing requires a combination of balance, coordination, and technique, as participants navigate varying terrain and snow conditions. It is often performed in ski resorts with designated trails and lifts that transport skiers to higher elevations. Skiing is popular for both its thrill and the scenic outdoor experience it provides.
