Probably because there are many ways to say it eg. "ski trail", "ski mountain", "ski run", "on the slopes", "chairlift" etc. whereas a gas station is just a gas station. Also, it's pretty hard to have a "missed connection" on a ski trail, seeing as how both parties tend to be in motion and ski goggles obscure eye contact :)

Sometimes you stop and chat, ask about directions, the weather. I could easily see people wishing they'd gotten a number on occasions like that.
