Correct spelling, explanation: this form is correct because skied is the past form of the verb ski, which is a regular verb. To create past form regular we usually add -ed at the end of the word. Ski ends with i and there is no reason to add anything else, so we simply add suffix -ed, as skied is perfectly pronounceable.
