Morphology

go + offski

The expression appears to be a playful nonce built on 'go' + a variation of 'off' (with a humorous '-ski' suffix), so its meaning 'to leave/depart' is inferable from the notion of 'go off'. However, 'offski' is non-standard and not dictionary-listed; the added suffix and informal coinage reduce predictability for a B1 learner, so comprehension is partial rather than fully transparent.

Etymology

Go offski likely comes from adding the playful ending -ski to go off, making a funny picture of someone sliding away on skis. That's why it now means 'to leave quickly'.
