滑雪 (huáxuě) means "to ski", a verb-object compound made from 滑 (huá, to slide, to glide) and 雪 (xuě, snow); put together, it is literally "to slide on snow".
Like many two-character sport verbs, it behaves as a single unit in most sentences but can still split to take a result or duration, as in 滑雪滑得很好 (huáxuě huá de hěn hǎo, "ski very well"), where 滑 (huá) repeats before the descriptive complement.
A related noun worth learning alongside it is 滑雪场 (huáxuěchǎng), "ski resort", built from the same 滑雪 (huáxuě) plus 场 (chǎng, a large open venue).
