Skiing is a new skill in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape
Skiing is one of three new skill-based activities in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape. This new skill is a fairly simple fun activity but does offer a pair of ski pants, and several new types of skiing equipment. That way, you can do more skiing and maybe make a little side cash blogging about it.
How to: Ski Skill Cheats
Press Control + Shift + C then type testingcheats on and press enter. You can now set your skill level with stats.set_skill_level major_skiing x (fill in 1-10) - we also have a full listing of Sims 4 Cheats and a master list of Cheats in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape
You can buy skis at the Bits and Baubles vending machine in the Yukimatsu area (the mountain top).
To get started, I suggest you spend some money buying a pair of skis at the vending machine in Yukimatsu. From there, you can head to the Bunny Slopes (pictured below). You should know that the ideal mood for gaining skill in skiing is Confident.
The Bunny Slopes are a great place to cut your teeth with the skiing skill.
Your Sim may suck at first, and get sad for a time when they do poorly. I suggest getting at least an energized moodlet before you start, so you can avoid the Sim getting bummed on your first attempt. You can ski carefully to help make sure this doesn't happen.
Ski Pants you unlock at level 2... I think.
To be honest, skiing doesn't unlock very much but I doubt anyone expected it to. You'll mostly unlock more skiing as you progress. New skis will be added to your Sim's inventory as they unlock them, and you can click them and 'set preferred skis' to make sure the Sim uses them.
From the base of the mountain, it's easy to see the 3 ski slopes in the picture. The easier ones are on the left side while further right increases in difficulty.
Much like Snowboarding, you are able to choose how your Sim will tackle each slope. You can either go cautiously, with a low intensity run, or try to pull off more tricks in a faster high intensity run. High intensity runs drain hunger, hygiene, and fatigue at an accelerated rate. Hunger and hygiene drain is much lower with a low intensity run and should probably be used if you do not want to tire out too quickly while gaining levels.
Unlike snowboarding with their record video ability, Skiiers get to teach a class to make some extra cash. You'll earn between $600 and $800 depending on the reward/outcome. You find this option on your Sim's phone. If it's not there under the Work category, it's because of the time. You see, you can only do this Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5

Kids can ski and snowboard, but it doesn't look like they can get the skill? My kid had a blast on the bunny slope and gained Motor pretty quick, but he didn't get Snowboarding or Skiing after he maxed Motor. My family lives in the mountaintop neighborhood, and they can walk right over and hit the slopes without a travel screen. And the kid did that one night on his own, I had to cut his adventure short because it was bedtime.
