Arr, the piratey-ness of this crew of sclawags do put wind in my sails on this damnably becalmed day. Alas, me hearties, I've had no cause today to speak like the scurvy dog me poor dear mother always did say I be. The only port on the charts is one unsociable to buccaneers and their ilk, and we must needs be acting like _gentlemen_ in these waters. Yarr, it suits me ill.

ETA: Har har, me eyes just fell upon the "Update Captain's Log" button and it did make me laugh; these landlubbers surrounding me do think I be crazy, I wager.

No, that letter sounds like "г", well, in this case the sound and the spelling are the same, the root here is снег, and that last letter sounds very clearely, same as in word "снегa" (which is a poetic multiple form with meaning "many snows", sounds rather odd;-)
And yes, the meaning is exactly as you guessed - "snowman".
As for skiing - downhill is ok for me as it usually goes as one move in same direction, but when you just go around a big circle on physical training school lessons, and you have stupid skies with very stupid lock - the bloody thing just suddenly fall out in the most inappropriate moment, and you fall down, and everybody behind you get very angry because they have to go through the same ski path as you, an you are lying across it. That's my usual experience with skies.
