Original Note:
There is no Thrust in this situation (unless someone or something gave the skier a push, or rocket skis :) . The velocity of skier achieved via their change of potential-energy (height) into kinetic-energy; 'falling' in gravity. The water, think like a glider....No Thrust. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/flight/modern/glider3.htm
