Slides across the snow, kissing ground (7)

I believe the answer is:

skiings

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slides across the snow' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'kissing ground' is the wordplay.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'kissing' is an anagram of 'SKIINGS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
