Quick Summary
Ski troops are soldiers trained and equipped to fight while maneuvering on skis. This specialized form of warfare leverages skiing techniques for movement and combat in snowy, mountainous terrain. While ski mountaineering, a related sport, involves ascending and descending mountains using both skiing and climbing skills, ski troops are focused on military operations. Their training allows them to operate effectively in environments where traditional ground vehicles would be impractical.12
