Skis (5e Equipment)

Wooden skis with horse hair (skins) bases for uphill traction. Included in the set is a single pole called a lurk (quarterstaff) used for propulsion and help steer. The skis should be 1x the characters height. While wearing the skis characters can ignore snow as difficult terrain. Movement speed on snow is normal for uphill travel, 1.5x normal for level ground, and 2x speed for downhill. While speeding downhill, every 10 minutes characters must make a DC 15 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to not fall prone or lose control of the skis, unless they have mountains or arctic as favored terrain, or have been trained. Training takes 2 days from an experienced teacher.

Cost: 50 gp
Weight: 10 lb.
