    So does this follow the same logic as att åka buss, except the "vehicle" you use are skis?

    Just checking: Åka skidor refers to 'crosscountry', whereas 'to ski downhill'' would be åka slalom or åka utför. Or have I misunderstood something?

    Åka skidor is just generally ’go skiing’. ’go cross-country skiing’ is åka längdskidor. The word utför means downhill, that’s correct, and slalom is ’slalom’.

    Tack så mycket! I think I let my mothertongue interfere with my thought process a tad too much. :(

      Would there be any difference between på vintern and under vintern here?

        Both should work here, but "under" was added just now.

        Why isn't it "vi skidor mycket"?

        Skidor is a plural noun. So there is no verb in your sentence. The swedish way of saying to ski is åka skidor.
