Slope-gliding plank
A ski is a long, narrow runner attached to a boot for gliding over snow.
Skis come in pairs, and the sport of skiing involves traveling downhill or cross-country on them: We're going skiing this weekend.
Water skis work similarly on water, towed behind a boat.
Jet Ski is a brand name for a personal watercraft, often used generically.
