You must have been brought up in the south. Up north it's called skiing.

You guys don't have lakes and boats for water skiing?

Yes, there are lakes and boats for water skiing. Up in New England skiing on water is called water skiing, skiing on snow is simply called skiing. When I first her the term 'snow skiing' I had to stop and think what they were talking about.
