I've played Tribes Ascend. The skiing was a unique idea, but turned the game into a twitchy mess with people moving so fast along the same old paths that it wasn't really much fun. Meanwhile all the classes that didn't ski so well we're left in the dust without much to do besides spray chainguns or spinfusors.
You have to look at the logistics here. What do TR and NC get? Are you just going to have a whole empire of Vanu being able to move incredibly fast whenever they wanted (ala tribes ascend) and make the other two empires hoof it? Is Planetside even a game that tribes skiing mechanic would work in?
You gotta remember that adding in something because it's "cool" can throw a spanner in the works for everything else that makes the game balanced and fun.
