Skied out is a colloquial term used in skiing and snowboarding communities to describe the condition of a ski slope or area that has been extensively used or skied upon, leading to a significant reduction in the quality and enjoyment of the skiing experience.
The term is often used to refer to the negative effects of excessive skiing on a particular trail or mountain, resulting in a worn-out, hard-packed, or icy surface. When a slope is skied out, it lacks fresh powder and becomes more challenging to ski on, requiring significantly more skill and effort to navigate.
Skied out slopes tend to have diminished snow quality, as the repeated pressure and turns by skiers and snowboarders pack the snow, increasing its density and reducing its ability to provide cushioning or facilitate a smooth glide. This can result in a more jarring and less fluid skiing experience. Furthermore, skied out conditions can make it easier to catch an edge or lose control on icy or compacted areas.
Overall, skied out refers to the state of a ski trail or area that has been heavily used and is characterized by reduced snow quality, increased hardness, and limited maneuverability. Skiers may typically seek out less crowded or less skied out areas to enjoy a more enjoyable and comfortable skiing experience.
The term "skied out" combines two separate words: "ski" and "out".
"Ski" is derived from the Old Norse word "skíð", which referred to a wooden plank used for sliding on snow. The word gradually entered the English language in the early 20th century and became associated with the winter sport of skiing.
"On the ski" or simply "skiing out" is a phrase that originally meant going out or venturing into the open on skis. Over time, it evolved to describe the act of skiing intensively until tiredness or exhaustion sets in. Thus, the phrase "skied out" emerged to indicate a state of being completely worn out or fatigued from skiing.
