Skiing is a sport using skis as an equipment, as the skis are attached to the boots. Hermione Granger was supposed to go skiing with her parents in 1995, but decided at the last minute to cancel and instead spend the Christmas holidays at 12 Grimmauld Place. Skiing is not known in the wizarding world, as Ron Weasley thought strapping thin strips of wood to ones feet and sliding down a hill was very funny.

  • Also called downhill skiing, alpine skiing typically takes place at a ski resort or dry slope. It originated in the European Alps, and is characterized by fixed-heel bindings that attach at both the toe and the heel of the skier's boot. Alpine skiing is popular wherever the combination of snow, mountain slopes, and a sufficient tourist infrastructure can be built up, including parts of Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, the South American Andes, and East Asia. In competitive alpine skiing races four disciplines exist: slalom, giant slalom, super giant slalom, and downhill. Slalom ski races have courses that require short tight turns, whereas giant-slalom races have courses which are set with more widely spaced turns. Super-giant slalom and downhill have few turns, the courses have gates spaced widely apart and skiers often reach 100 km/h.
