In this article from the Guardian, Harrison Schmitt talks about mobility in low gravity environments. Schmitt used a bunny hop motion, borrowed from skiing, to traverse the moon's surface during the Apollo mission. Using this method he was able to move around the surface much quicker than his crew mates.

Schmitt goes on to discuss the possibility that skiing on the moon's surface may prove to be one of the primary forms of entertainment for early settlers on the moon. He even has a location picked out to catch some slope time, the Taurus-Littrow valley. Hopefully the ski-lodge located along the ridge of that valley will be named Schmitt - although 'Hagan' has a better ring for a ski lodge.
