Morphology
The meaning 'a jacket designed for skiing' is directly derivable from combining 'ski' (relating to the sport/equipment) with 'jacket' (a short coat), forming a purpose/usage compound. This noun+noun composition is a common, transparent pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Ski jacket comes from clothing made for people who ski. It is a jacket that keeps them warm and dry on snowy slopes, so today it means 'a warm, waterproof jacket for skiing'.
