I actually didn't hate the concept of Skis. I put this on another thread related to them:
Well, perhaps when you wear skis and start walking in a direction (only on snow or ice) you start slow but gradually increase speed, until you are going about 1.5x as fast as sprinting. The faster you go, the slower you turn. If you drop down any fall that would not give you fall damage you increase speed by X per block, with a maximum speed of 2x Sprinting speed. You can only get to that speed by dropping down blocks though, to simulate going down a slope. If you are above 1.5x sprint speed by dropping down blocks, you gradually slow down to the regular max speed of 1.5x Sprint.
If the drop is large enough where you would get fall damage, you will get hurt, lose speed, and the skis would lose durability. If you hit a mob or block, you lose health, speed, and the skis take damage.
One thing I forgot to mention there though, is that when wearing skis on anything besides Ice and Snow, you move at 75% walking speed and you cannot Sprint. And if you go from Snow or Ice onto other blocks you slow down rapidly.

Ugh... Is this going to be the new rubies? Idc, no support. Just because the textures were there, doesn't mean they'll be in the game. And I don't like the idea of skiing.

To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.
Please add skis! dont make them a joke!

As for skis, I think it could work as a transportation around tundra biomes.
