Skiing

Skiing is a recreational activity and competitive sport that involves gliding over snow using skis, which are long, narrow boards attached to the feet with bindings. Participants use ski poles for balance and propulsion while maneuvering on various types of snow-covered terrain. Skiing can be categorized into several styles, including alpine skiing, which involves descending slopes on groomed trails; cross-country skiing, which focuses on traversing flat or rolling landscapes; and freestyle skiing, which incorporates tricks and jumps. Skiing is typically performed in ski resorts or mountainous regions and can be enjoyed by individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. It is often associated with winter sports and is popular around the world in snowy climates.
