Morphology

freeskiing = freeski (transparent) = free + ski + ing

The verb is the present-participle form of the verb 'freeski' (free + ski), so the meaning 'to ski performing tricks' is transparently derived.

Etymology

Freeskiing comes from the parts free ('without limits') and skiing, so to freeski is to ski in a free, creative way. That's why to freeski means to do jumps and tricks on the slopes instead of just racing straight down.
