How so? Both are paid for by an insurance pool. Unless the skier is paying a higher insurance premium for the extra risk that they are incurring by skiing, they are not paying for their skiing injuries.

Most poor people have insurance which is paid for by the rich.

If insurance companies start to charge skiiers their actuarial cost, I have no problem with this. If they don't I suspect it's simply because there aren't very many.
