All skiing is water skiing.
The term “water skiing” is conventionally used to refer specifically to a water sport where a person is pulled behind a boat while wearing skis and skimming on the water’s surface. When people talk about “skiing” without any specific context, they usually refer to activities on snow-covered surfaces.
While it’s true that snow is made of water, the distinction lies in the medium and context. When people refer to skiing on snow, they are typically talking about activities such as alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, or other snow sports where skis are used on snow-covered terrain. The term “water skiing” is specific to the water sport context.
In casual conversation, saying “skiing” without specifying the context usually implies snow skiing. The use of the term “water skiing” helps distinguish the water sport from snow skiing.
