What does “Ski” mean

Ski is a citrus soda made with real orange and lemon juice, formulated in 1956 at the Double Cola Company in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Although it was created in Tennessee, Ski became deeply embedded in the local culture of Evansville, Indiana and southern Illinois, where it remains a regional staple. Outside that pocket of the lower Midwest it is rarely seen.
