The Goddess of Skiing

Who was the Norse goddess Skadi and why is she on skis?

 

Skadi is a goddess associated with skiing, bowhunting, winter and the mountains. Her first husband was a consolation prize from the gods because they'd killed her father.

 

Alas, that union didn't last.

 

Who was her second husband? Odin himself, and they had several children together.
