Skiing is the physical skill that governs the use of skis and ski sticks to move more quickly and easily across snow-covered areas without a rapid increase on fatigue.

The Skiing skill increases very rapidly, often improving each day it is used. It is among the easiest skills to train despite being usable only in winter months.

To ski, simply use [a]pply command to put on your skis (you don't have to wield the skis). With a ski stick (or a northern spear) wielded, the Skiing skill will automatically be used. You will see the character skiing and the skiing speed on the top right corner.

The skiing skill does absolutely nothing. Whether you have 0 skill or 100 skill, it doesn't matter. You either are weilding a ski stick and wearing skis, or you are not, and if you are not and it is Winter, Centre, Pearl, or Soil month, then you will get fatigued with each step.

In 3.20, the skiing skill will be a lot more important: http://z3.invisionfree.com/UrW_forum/index.php?showtopic=5526

"- fixed & balanced: skiing and walking in the snow

      * In addition to being fatiguing, walking in the snow is now also about 20% slower.

      * Skiing skill matters and skiing is now also fatiguing, but always faster and easier than than walking 
        in the snow.

        Now your skiing skill determines how fatiguing it is for you to ski. The more skilled you are, the less of 
        an effort it is to ski. Only highly skilled skiers get close to zero fatigue accumulation anymore, but
        skiing skill still improves quite fast so most characters can build up decent skiing skills during 
        single winter. In any case skiing is always faster and less fatiguing than walking in the snow. 

      * Skiing is cancelled and you are notified to remove your skis when the time of the year doesn't suit 
        skiing.
