How do you let people know you're having a yard sale?

In slang, "ski" most commonly refers to snorting cocaine, from the imagery of going downhill like skiing, with terms like "going skiing" or "skiing" meaning drug use, though it can also mean riding skis backward (switch skiing) in ski culture, or even be a playful suffix like in "broski".
