That ski game reminds me so much of the Olympic Games Pack that Microsoft sold as an add on to the original games (Solitaire, Minesweeper etc.) that can installed with Windows back in the day.

I must say that those little mini games were some of the most enjoyable ones I've ever played. Useful to burn a few minutes while waiting for compile to finish or a call to be returned. I've never really gone for any really immersive games in my time.

Nowadays, my favourite game to kill a few minutes at a doctor's surgery or something is F-Sim. It doesn't classify as a simple game, but just 2 minutes as a test of skill to shoot a random approach and landing in the Space Shuttle and I am happy.

Those games were the best for wasting time at school
