Hi lady1
I take it you mean down hill skiing and not water skiing

I guess it would depend on what temperature your skiing in and what thermal protection you get from your oilies

I don't recommend it unless you relish the idea of turning yourself into an unstoppable missile when you come a cropper on the slopes. Most ski gear has a 'texture' to it to prevent unstoppable/uncontrollable slides.

Plus you'll look like a prat.
