The word is recognizably built from 'free' and 'skiing', but the sense is a specialized sports term rather than a fully literal composition.

Etymology

Freeskiing comes from combining free ('without limits') and skiing. It began as a name for skiing that focuses on tricks, jumps and using the mountain itself, so the word reminds you it is skiing with freedom and creativity.
