    New/unusual/increased exercise is a well-known cause of water retention.
    And while you were skiing, were you eating different foods than usual? Perhaps more sodium than usual (restaurant food/takeway)?
    If you haven't been on your weight loss journey for a very long time, you also might not fully know your natural water weight fluctuations yet - it could be linked to your hormonal cycle (period/ovulation...).

    2lbs is within normal weight fluctuations, just be patient and go back to your usual routine.
