Good question about the effectiveness.  You would think a drop in effectiveness would affect them similar to how it affects vehicles.  However the skis are different in that they are carried like a weapon, so my guess is that the effectiveness only affects them in terms of their offensive capabilities, which are effectively nil ... unless you are James Bond.
I do know that if their effectiveness drops to 50% they automatically convert from skis into a snowboard.  
At 75% skis have binding that 'sort of' fit the new owners boot size.
At 50% one skis have broken or missing bindings.  A check is make for "Duck Tape" before they can be used.
At 25% the new owner only has one ski made with taped together from pieces of other skis.  AKA the first snowboards as Rabbit suggests.

Now if I can only get my troops to quit dropping all their weapons and gear in other scenarios when they jump off the vehicle they are riding.  I think there is a trick to what one should highlight when giving the unload command for a foot unit to get off a vehicle.  Do these guys take off their boots while riding?
