How it's used
Skiing is not a native activity in Hong Kong, so the term is almost exclusively used when discussing travel to colder climates. It functions as a verb, but can also be used as a noun to describe the activity itself. When talking about the experience, locals often focus on the excitement or the difficulty of the sport.
Examples
It is so awesome to go skiing in Japan during winter.
Did you learn how to ski when you were little?
