Answer

SKIER

A skier is a person who travels on skis, either for recreation, sport, or transportation. The word comes from the Norwegian word 'ski' which originally meant a stick of wood. Skiing has ancient origins, with evidence of skis dating back over 8,000 years in Scandinavia, though modern recreational skiing developed in the 19th century.
