Morphology

ski + conditions

The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun combination where 'conditions' (local weather/snow state) is applied to 'ski' to mean the conditions for skiing (snow amount/quality and weather). This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows ordinary English noun-modifier logic, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

The phrase ski conditions tells you the real state of the ski slopes — the conditions of the snow and weather, like fresh powder, hard ice, or slushy snow. So, when people check ski conditions, they are finding out 'how good or safe the skiing will be'.
