Both are about the same. But the first one is better and more colloquial.

Hello! "Do you ski?" is correct because "ski" is the verb in the present tense. "Do you do skiing?" is not correct - "skiing" is a gerund (a verb form of a noun ending in -ing) and a simple rule that I found is that whenever the activity ends in -ing (like "skiing") the verb used should be "go". I hope that helps!
