People can also use snowboards or snowblades (the short little skis that people sometimes use). At larger resorts sometimes you can also use snowshoes, cross-country skis, snowmobiles. and tubes (for tubing).

Skiing.
There's usually not much use for oil with skis. Modern skis are mainly plastic, and oil won't do much for them. Older wodden skis are/were traditionally treated with tar as a sort of base preparation to keep the snow from sticking to them.
Twin tip skis are for the experienced skier. they tend to be much easier to use. also they help you control your movements better while on the water. Skis are meant for fun.
you use skis to ski on snow and when you do ski jumping
