With the 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update breathing new life into the mountain biome, now would the time to make this once inside joke into a really fun and exciting feature.
The crafting recipe would be relatively simple, on either side from top to bottom would be an iron ingot, a wooden stick, and a wood slab of your choice. This would craft the Skis. The skis wouldn't have the best durability but can be used in a multitude of ways, however, the main one would be for getting around the new mountain biomes with ease, especially getting down them, I would assume they would go diagonally down like how minecarts currently behave and the speed would get quicker the longer you are doing down the slopes of mountains, but this where the fun begins! With enough momentum, you could actually ski back up a shorter slope to make actual ski jumps!
This would do wonders for things in survival such as crossing ravines or even something as potent as crossing the end islands before you obtain an elytra. This provides functionality to builds and also provides a reason to build out slopes for use with Skis.
Let's say you don't want to make a big slope, you could make a shorter size slope and then use rockets, as you can currently with elytras, to dramatically speed up your momentum using the Skis to reach even higher heights and go further distances! Another really cool use-case would be for nether tunnels laced with ice, being able to blaze through them with rocket-powered Skis!
