Skadi is a powerful and fierce Norse goddess associated with winter, snow, mountains, hunting, and skiing. She is often depicted as a beautiful, strong woman armed with a bow and arrows, wearing fur-trimmed clothing and snowshoes. Skadi is known for her independence and determination, embodying the qualities of a huntress and warrior. She is also a skilled skier, who glides effortlessly through the snow-covered mountains of her homeland. Skadi's name itself means "shadow" or "shade," reflecting her connection to the cold, dark winter months.
